About the Movie

Melissa Joan Hart stars as Elizabeth Fenwick, a loving mother in her 40’s who continues to envision herself as the effortless star dancer and high school prom queen she once was. After returning to her hometown with her children and husband, Steve (Eddie Mills), Elizabeth sees her teenage daughter, Grace (Lily Brooks O’Briant), is poised to have the same vibrant life Elizabeth once cherished. She finds herself pouring all her unfulfilled ambitions into Grace as they prepare for the tryouts for the high school’s competitive dance team—the same team that once showcased Elizabeth’s brilliance. But, when Grace fails to make the team, Elizabeth’s world begins to unravel. Consumed by her frustration and disappointment, she channels her fury towards the school administration in a misguided attempt to remedy the situation. When her efforts backfire, Elizabeth grapples with the fallout and grows increasingly obsessed with Hannah (Valerie Loo), the true star of the dance team, and her mother Nicole (Anzu Lawson). Elizabeth’s misguided protective instincts become alarming and lead to a descent into dangerous territory fueled by her desperate need to reclaim the glory she once had.
