Four determined dancers. One prestigious studio. Dancing  is their lives. They eat, drink, and sleep it.  They never go a day without dancing. Never. They must follow the rules. No dating, dance comes before school, stick to the diet, obey the curfew, and never go out during competition week. These rules have defined them and have stolen their teenage experiences. The average life as a teenager is something they are deprived of as their sole purpose in life is dance. Struggling to balance a normal life is a challenge for them. They have a promising future in dance in front of them, just as long as they follow all of the rules, or at least don’t get caught breaking them. This year, they are beyond determined to make things change. But can they survive without giving into the pressure to go against the rules and try to live the life
normal teenagers live?

She'd always thought he was rude, but after that night he's all Ella can think about. Now she's trapped. If Ella dates Ren, it will ruin her friendship with Jenny. But if she stays true to Jenny, she's losing the one person who can see past her scars. It's up to Ella to decide if she will forge her own path, or stay in the "perfect" box designed for her...
