Every summer, hundreds of dancers arrive at Spotlight Summer Camp, where many of them return and train year after year. To those who always come back, it becomes home.
Enter Abigail Sayler. For seven years, she has been coming to Spotlight, and now it is her last summer as she approaches the age limit. She has grown up there dancing with the same girls, give or take a few, and met her best friends. They had stood by each other for years, laughing as the same six guys fluttered around her team. Abigail had watched her teammates fall in love, but the boys never phased her. She loved Spotlight, and the memories she'd made there.
Abigail expected the same consistency as there had always been. The same competition, the same classes, the same friends. But she was growing up, and her world was turning with it.
