A thrilling dance film full of energy, music and passion. 

 

Young dancers from the group of West Coast Crew from a small town called Svit dream of becoming famous and wealthy one day. The most tenacious is Buddy, who is able to sacrifice almost everything to win. In a dance contest, they are noticed by the acclaimed producer and invited to a dance competition casting that would open their doors to the world of show-business. But the way is full of hard obstacles, and  their relationships and characters will be subject to the pressure of success.
