Iris Heller, a teenager with Sensory Processing Disorder, runs away
to compete in a national bake-off contest.In order to get there,
she steals her mom's car, travels along the East Coast, and does
the most terrifying thingof all - interacts with actual people!
Iris has never been like other girls, but she's not about to start
letting thatget in the way. Iris has this profound fascination for
the musican Dave Matthews, and she feels a compelling need to
competein the bake-off for Dave. To compensate for nervousness, she
has the habit of humming, beatboxing, andmaking musical
contraptions out of items around her. It is this talent that gets
noticed at several road stopsalong the way, which leads to her
inevitable ""gone viral"" glory. At a donut shop, Iris sings like
an angel. At acoffee shop, she plays a symphony using cups and the
soda fountain. At a restaurant, she builds a gloriousmusical
fountain out of dishes and pans. Iris is the kind of pure spirit
who brings the best out of the worldaround her without knowing it.
Iris' mom (Maisy) and her best friend Eric set out to find Iris.
All lives converge at Happy World, the Disneyesqueparadise, where
the bake-off takes place. Iris, whose life has been one of
isolation andmisunderstanding, finds out just how much she is
loved. It doesn't matter whether she wins the bake-off,
she'salready won the biggest contest of all, triumphing in life.
