* Q & A with editor Nancy Richardson to follow screening

Tyler is a rebel from the wrong side of the tracks. Nora is a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore's ultra-elite Maryland School of the Arts. When trouble with the law lands Tyler with a community service gig at the school, his skills as a street dancer draw Nora's attention. As sparks fly between them, both on-stage and off, Tyler realizes he has one chance to step up to a life larger than he ever imagined.
