About THE GIRLS ARE GOOD: 

A DANGEROUS OBSESSION - Martina wants to be the best gymnast in the world. But so does everyone around her.

A TOURNAMENT WITH A DIFFERENCE - During one week of intense competition, Martina and her teammates are tested to the limit, and any sign of weakness can quickly spell the end.

A MURDER IN THE NIGHT - By the end of the week, one of the gymnasts will be dead. 

Every girl will do anything to win…but at what cost?
