SYNOPSIS
The Tap Cats are determined to win the 2013 Senior Superstar Competition, or at least Carol is. Her primary school friend, Sofia, is less committed and sparks fly when their childhood friend Bonnie returns from New York with a secret. Lies, betrayals and challenges rock their relationships and the success of the Tap Cats. As the competition looms, will tap dancing rebuild their broken friendship and help them rediscover themselves?
