Lucy, a 13-year-old girl, finds herself unwittingly embodying the lyrics of the classic song Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini when she excitedly dons a similar swimsuit for the first time at the Caledona, MN city swimming pool. Her initial joy turns to mortification as a group of boys from her class cruelly mock her due to the lack of coverage in her bikini bottoms, revealing her pubic hair. Devastated by the humiliation, Lucy retreats and shaves off her hair in a desperate attempt to stop the teasing.

With the support of her mother, Tammy, Lucy finds the courage to face the bullies and seeks a more modest swimsuit to regain her confidence. Through this challenging experience, Lucy learns about self-acceptance, resilience, and the importance of standing up for herself. As she navigates the complexities of adolescence, Lucy discovers the true meaning of inner strength and the power of embracing one's uniqueness.
