The Way to Dance

Synopsis

Kate was a dancer, a good one. The future was hers, the excitement, the competitions, the awards. At just 16 she had it all. But then the accident happened.

Not only was she scarred for life, but her injuries took away her voice. Now a reclusive mute, she lives a secluded life, hidden from the world.

But when she meets Danny in an Internet chat room he is determined to break her out of her shell. Smooth talking and not afraid to bend a few rules, Danny makes it his personal mission to get Kate back on the stage. However as their friendship grows, Kate begins to suspect that Danny is not everything he claims to be.
