Ruby is a classical dancer who goes to a Manhattan Conservatory of the Arts. She meets an edgy, moody young violinist named Johnnie who performs in the New York subway. He got distracted while helping her, and his violin was taken. She tries to help him, but she learns he is illegally living in the USA. She learns that there's competition wherein a dancer performs with a string musician, and the winner gets a scholarship, which can get him a student visa. Ruby and Johnnie must find a way to save Ruby’s scholarship and keep Johnnie from being deported. With the help of a hip hop dance crew they must find a common ground while preparing for a competition that could change their lives forever.
