Overview

Attending the National Ballet School is every aspiring dancer's dream. It's been Brynna's for as long as she can remember.

When her parents move her family to Melbourne so Brynna can attend a top ballet school, it looks like her dream is about to become a reality. But why does she feel so awful about the move? Her brother Tam is angrier than she has ever seen him and her mother is working hard to keep the family afloat.

Will every step towards success come at a price? For Brynna to realise her heart's desire, something has to give. But will it be her family?
