In 1986 Los Angeles, twenty-three-year-old Simone Banks is one of the industry's most in-demand background dancers, working with artists like Whitney Houston, Madonna, and Chaka Khan. As a single mother raising her five-year-old daughter, Maya, Simone keeps her focus on one thing: building a better life for her baby girl. When she repeatedly crosses paths with Michael Jackson, he becomes fascinated by the one woman who treats him like any other performer. Simone refuses to be distracted by fame, even after landing the biggest job of her career-becoming one of Michael's featured dancers on a major tour. As they prepare for moths of rehearsals and an upcoming tour, Michael discovers the secret Simone has been hiding: she's a devoted mother determined to succeed on her own terms.

Can a girl who lives in fictional worlds survive the brutal reality of the Luthor legacy? Or will their story end the way all great tragedies do?
