Plot[]

17-year-old Maria Bennett (Kat Graham) returns from juvi 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. Wanting to start over, as being with her old crew landed her in juvi, she joins the HD crew. She wants to give pay back to her old crew (the 718 Crew) and ex-boyfriend Luis (Christopher Martinez) after realizing the bad influence they continue to have.

Maria convinces HD to audition to compete on the television dance competition "Dance Battlezone" which means going up against the 718. The 718 tries to demotivate HD in a street dance-off, and manages to temporarily poach Tina from HD after. Once they involve her in stealing, she realises they are bad news, and begs HD to take her back.

Maria finds passion, romance (with Brandon, NYU student and fellow HD member), and hard work in the HD crew while realizing why she started dancing in the first place.
