According to the program synopsis, "Violet is determined to show the world just how special she is. With the help of her assistant Freddy, she sets out to break a world record, but becomes accidentally extraordinary when she’s struck by lightning — twice — and gains control over all things electric. Under the name Miss Electricity, Violet zaps her way through circuits, bullies, and tests, but could lose everything when the power goes to her head."
The performers include Betsy Hegger of Jonesboro as Violet, Morgan Carvell of Bentonville as Mom/Athena, Matthew Stewart of White Hall as Freddie, Emily Tucker of Jonesboro as Billy the Bully, Deven Parrish of Trumann as Connie, William Key of Cabot as Mr. Waldo/Owl, and Justin Almager of El Dorado, as Narrator/Zeus.
