Sara's life is devoted to dance - she wants nothing
more than to make it into New York's famous Juilliard School. But when tragedy
strikes and she loses her mum, her hopes are dashed and she buries her dreams
of ever attending the country's best dance school.
Without her Mum to support her, Sara moves to the tough streets of Chicago's
South side to live with her Dad - a down on his luck jazz musician who she
barely knows. Her new school's a totally different world from the small town
she grew up in, but Sara's quick comebacks and sassy attitude earn her the
quick respect and friendship of straight-talking Chenille. But it's Chenille's
brother, Derek, the cool and good-looking star of the school, who grabs Sara's
attention. He plays it up tough, but he also has the smarts and a plan to go to
medical school.
When Chenille takes Sara to Steppes, the neighborhood hang, she gets her first
taste of hip-hop - and Derek's the one to show her the moves. When they
discover they share a passion for dance, they discover that there's something
deeper going on - a passion for each other. But they soon find out the hard way
that they must not only overcome their own differences, but the resentment and
bad blood of their friends and family. As the school year goes on, the couple
finds that their affection and devotion to each other could ultimately threaten
Derek's hopes for a better life and Sara's rediscovery of her dance.
Yet against all the odds they overcome the obstacles to their dreams, and
discover that ultimately the only person you have to be is... yourself.
