High Strung

Ruby Adams is a dancer, from the Midwest, on a scholarship, living her first day in New York City. Johnnie Blackwell is a British musician, playing for money in the subway tunnels. Her world is classical and disciplined; his is improvisational and street-smart. When a hip-hop battle gone wrong throws these two artists together, they immediately clash but can’t deny it when sparks begin to fly.

Their lives quickly get entangled in the pitfalls that come with competing in New York City. With the help of a dynamic dance crew called the SwitchSteps, Ruby and Johnnie must find a way to save Ruby’s scholarship and keep Johnnie from being deported. The two must navigate their opposing worlds and prepare for a competition where winning or losing will change their lives forever.
