Almost every 16 year old girl dreams to have the life they've always wanted. Many of them plan to do that through a seemingly unachievable way of becoming a famous singer. Ellie has always aimed for the stars and even beyond, but getting noticed just doesn't seem to be happening. When she finally decides to post a video online, things are starting to look up. Her best friend Kaia, who has also posted a video, is hoping to get noticed as well, but she, on the other hand, is a dancer. Her video gets noticed as well, but not by anyone important enough to help her.
When suddenly her best friend is ripped away from her side to become some world famous singer, Kaia is left in the dust, not knowing what to do or where to go. Her dancing career hadn't taken off like she'd expected it to, and things were looking down. Will anything ever be the same?
