A dynamic lovestory full of dance and music. Mary and Buddy's lives revolve around their love – mainly their love for each other. They’re also bound by their love of dance. In their nowhere small town they put together a dance group. Street dance provides them with friendship, freedom and dreams – a dream of one day not only being loved, but also famous and rich. The door to that dream finally opens up to them; during a dance battle, an acclaimed producer offers to cast them for a big TV dance competition. But the backstage rules for a show like this tough. Each of their characters and their friendship is tested by fame – as is the love of the central couple. So far, it's been a compromise-free relationship, but new and unexpected people will affect their emotions.
