In South Central Los Angeles there is a group of avian enthusiasts who breed, raise, train and show acrobatic pigeons known as Birmingham Rollers. The birds take flight and perform backward somersaults rapidly — the more synchronized the better. The documentary follows the process of participating in this unique competitive sport with defending champion Keith London and his protege Darrian Hogg.
