A young man with Asperger’s syndrome seeks the instruction of a Broadway dancer to learn enough dancing to survive an awards dinner. The dancer is recovering from an injury that may stop her dancing career permanently.
As their relationship unfolds, they’re both caught off-guard by the discoveries—both hilarious and heartwarming—that they make about each other and about themselves.
