Plot:
In Baltimore, the troublemaker and street dancer Tyler Gage lives with
his foster parents in a lower class neighborhood. His best friends are
Mac Carter and his little brother Skinny Carter and they used to hang
around together, going to parties and stealing cars. After being
expelled from a party, the trio breaks in the Maryland School of Arts
and commits vandalism, destroying the stage. Tyler is arrested and
sentenced to 200 hours of community service in the school and Director
Gordon assigns him to help the janitor cleaning the place. One
afternoon, the ballet dancer Nora Clark sees Tyler dancing in the
parking area and when her partner Andrew has a strain and Tyler offers
to help her in the choreography, she accepts the offer; they rehearsal
and become close to each other while Tyler becomes friend of the
students Miles Darby and Lucy Avila. When Andrew returns, Tyler that is
known for quitting everything he starts gives up dancing and leaves Nora
alone. After an incident, Tyler has to decide to follow his dream or
return to his life of rebel loser.

Late teen Tyler Gage is a directionless young man, despite the care
provided by his loving foster family. With his best friend Marcus "Mac"
Carter and Mac's younger brother "Skinny" Carter, Tyler spends his time
stealing cars, playing pick-up games of basketball, and attending house
parties where hip-hop is king. After he is caught and convicted of
vandalism, Tyler is sentenced to community service at the scene of the
crime: the Maryland School of the Arts. Tyler feels out of his element
among most of the students at the school. But after her dance partner
Andrew suffers an injury, classically trained dance student Nora Clark,
who is preparing for her potentially career starting senior showcase,
asks Tyler, who she spied doing an impromptu hip-hop dance out on the
street, to replace Andrew in her showcase for rehearsal purposes only
until Andrew recovers, despite Tyler not being a trained dancer. Getting
the reluctant OK from the school's director, Miss Gordon, Tyler agrees.
This partnership begins Tyler's association with the artistic side of
the school and the students. Although their partnership has its many
bumps, Nora helps Tyler see his life in a different way, while Tyler
makes Nora examine how she sees her craft. Their professional
partnership and burgeoning personal relationship is threatened by Nora's
self-centered boyfriend, Brett Dolan, and Nora's commitment to Andrew
as a dance partner. Tyler also feels like he's being pulled in two
directions, especially as Mac sees him leaving his old friends behind
him. An incident concerning Skinny makes both Tyler and Mac examine in
which direction their lives should lead.

Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams, but some people only
get one shot. Tyler Gage is a rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore¹s
tracks and the only thing that stands between him and an unfulfilled
life are his dreams of one day making it out of there. Nora is a
privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore¹s ultra-elite Maryland
School of the Arts -- and the only thing standing in the way of her
obviously brilliant future is finding a great dance partner for her
senior showcase. When trouble with the law lands Tyler with a community
service gig at Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry
outsider, until his skills as a gifted street dancer draw Nora¹s
attention. Now, as sparks fly between them, both on and off stage, Tyler
realizes he has just one performance to prove that he can step up to a
life far larger than he ever imagined.
