As Phiona’s chess career takes off, her family struggles to cope with the financial and emotional strain of her success.
The movie culminates with Phiona’s biggest challenge yet: competing in the World Chess Olympiad in Russia. As she faces off against the world’s best players, Phiona must decide what she wants for her future and what sacrifices she is willing to make for it.
