Plot
17-year-old Maria Bennett (Katerina Graham) returns from prison to rebuild her life with nothing but a talent for street dance and a burning ambition to prove herself. She finds refuge in the place that made her feel most alive as a kid at the rec center where Honey's exuberant classes first ignited her passion for dance. Keeping on the straight and narrow means living with Honey's mother Connie (Lonette McKee) and holding down a job just to make ends meet. She joins the HD crew to give pay back to her old crew (the 718 Crew) and ex-boyfriend Luis (Christopher Martinez) after realizing the bad influence they had on her. She convinces them to audition to compete on the television dance competition "Dance Battlezone" which means going up against the 718. Maria finds passion, romance, and hard work in the HD crew while realizing why she started dancing in the first place.
