Set in 1978 Chicago, ''Roll Bounce'' tells the story of a boy named Xavier (nicknamed "X") whose mother has died, leaving him with his father, Curtis, and his sister, Sonya. After the local roller rink closes down, X and his friends are forced to skate in the ritzy uptown rink "Sweetwater". Tired of being disrespected by the skate rental distributor, Bernard, and other skaters at Sweetwater, the group enters a roller disco contest. Their biggest rivals are the five-year champion, Sweetness, and his crew, the Sweetwater Rollers. The film centers on X's training for the competition while trying to work through problems with his father and his pretty childhood friend, Naomi.
