Seventeen year-old Russian-American elite gymnast Natalia Laskutin is only one year away from her and her father's ultimate goal, the 2008 Summer Olympics. Her elegance and unique style makes her one of America's top gymnasts, and a true contender for competing and possibly taking home her dream title, the all-around Olympic Gold medal. But when an inevitable injury leaves her torn and off her feet for a few weeks, she is pulled into the "normal" teenage world of parties, and - you guessed it! - boys! With no alternative option, Natalia struggles to fit in in life outside of the gym, while her father (and coach) struggles to watch his daughter fall into the rhythm of teenage-hood. This is a story about first love, and a father-daughter relationship that is put to the test when their common dream is potentially swept away in a heartbeat.
They used to dance side by side - Ekaterina and Floralie, best friends, inseparable.
Until one betrayal turned them into rivals.
Floralie did the one thing Kate could never forgive: she stole her first boyfriend.
Years later, Kate makes sure they meet again.
Same stage, same dream, same role - the Spring Gala.
This time, she's determined to win. To shine. To make Floralie regret everything.
Maybe even to take back the boy she lost.
But what begins as revenge slowly turns into something else. Every step, every touch, every look brings back what she tried to bury.
And what if Kate isn't who she thought she was?
What if envy was never the real story between these two rivals ?
