A stellar student at an exclusive private school, 16-year-old Raya Green is on the fast track to success until the unexpected death of her sister, a drug addict, changes everything. With family resources exhausted, Raya is forced to return to the community she so desperately wants to escape. Scrambling for a way to clear the financial hurdles, she turns to a most unlikely arena: the electrifying world of step dancing, a type of dance that combines jazz and hip-hop, with cheerleading, tap dancing and stomp moves.
Fighting her way onto the all-male Jane Street Junta step crew, Raya discovers that step is a mirror for life, and that success comes only to those brave enough to tackle it on their own terms.
