Hannah is vasgekeer. Tussen die boom se blare waar sy soms vir haar lewe wegkruip en per ongeluk vir Lua, die coolste meisie wat sy ken, afloer. Sy is vas tussen die soet geure van haar ma se koekskeppings en haar uitgewaste jeans. Vas tussen haar pa se rugbesering terwyl hy plastiek-warlord speel en die wêreld vanuit sy studeerkamer probeer red. Vas in haar onvermoë om haarself te laat geld. Sy is moeg vir wegkruip, moeg om die enigste agter-die-klip-tiener te wees en te vries wanneer sy moet vlieg. Tot Lua onverwags ʼn paar ou rolskaatse vir Hannah gee en haar help om kelnerin by die akwarium se koffiewinkel te word. Hannah kom voor ʼn keuse te staan: veg, vlug of vries? Sy kies! Sy kyk video’s oor hoe om bo te bly, want skaats gaan sy skaats. Die De Lange-broers kruis haar pad. Leo leer haar skaats, Ben wys haar die dolfyne en Hannah se vlerke kry vere. Sy vlieg en wanneer sy land ... land sy op wiele!

Hyena is unhappy because it seems that she does not have a good reputation. She wants to be loved, like Elephant, and admired, like Lion. However, her efforts to turn herself into first an elephant, and then a lion prove humorously unsuccessful. Lion suggests that since Hyena has spots like a leopard, perhaps she could become a leopard instead. This attempt too, meets with comical failure. Far from denigrating her, the other animals affirm her strong hyena qualities, and encourage her to be all that she was born to be, much to the relief and delight of Hyena's pack.
