Frankie is a girl who loves art, pizza and rock music. But whatever she does there is no changing the fact that she is different. She is friends with Sam and Rebecca, which, for a matter of fact, all of them love to have fun. They decide to find her dad, but in the process Frankie wins an art competition, has fun and finds out that being unique is important, and you should be proud of who you are.
