Synopsis

Romantic comedy. Lucy McLoughlin lives in Belfast and is one of the best dancers in her samba class, along with her boyfriend, Oliver. Sparks fly when she meets Danny Mitchell, a young aspiring footballer who is inspired to take dance lessons to improve his ability on the pitch. When Oliver challenges Danny's team to a match with his school's team, and Danny accidentally trips Oliver up, Danny is banished from the pitch and incurs the wrath of Lucy into the bargain.
