When Ren McCormack and his mother move to Bomont, a town that has outlawed dancing, Ren immediately feels the pressure of being an outsider as the walls of this strict town close around him. Struggling to conform to these rules, Ren finds himself growing closer and closer to the town preacher’s rebellious daughter, Ariel. As the attraction between them grows, Ren endures intense mistrust from the preacher and the community as rumors of his past are spread around. After mobilizing his classmates to fight these rigid ways through a dance, he manages to galvanize the citizens and warm their hearts to create a more free and expressive town of Bomont.
