Saunders, a headstrong Bronx teenager, is caught between his love of Litefeet subway dancing and his strict father’s insistence on becoming an engineer. After he finagles his way onto a ragtag Litefeet crew, he’s exposed to an electrifying new world as well as a new crush. Now he has to decide who and what he’s willing to sacrifice in order to compete in the biggest dance competition of the year: Kingdome.
A talented dancer must chose between his brain and his heart and he decides whether to follow his passion and dance with his new crew of friends or take his father's strongly worded advice and become an engineer.
After a high schooler who has a secret passion for break dancing joins the dance crew, he has to decide whether he should follow his dad, who's strongly against dancing, or follow his passion and help the team win the competition.

School gets out. Saunders heads to an empty construction sight and begins practicing the dancer's routine from the metro that morning. He's really good.
Saunders heads home. He eats dinner with his dad, who makes it clear that he has big expectations of Saunders to head to college and make something of himself.
We cut to the lives of the dancers from the metro that morning. BIGMAN (adult man) and OOMPH (teenage girl) live together. They're very short on money. YOUTUBE (adult man) is selling designer sneakers from a bodega. PRESTON (adult man), the group's leader, lives with his wife KEISHA (adult woman). Keisha and Preston talk about the upcoming dance competition, Kingdome, that Preston is training for.
The next morning, the dance crew meets up outside of the metro. They...
