A queer coming-of-age romance about Skylar, a young Black ballet prodigy navigating the cost of perfection. A scholarship student at an elite ballet academy, Skylar channels fear and the weight of expectation into absolute discipline. When their mother falls behind on tuition, and the academy announces a paid professional apprenticeship, Skylar’s pursuit of excellence becomes a matter of survival. Their carefully controlled world is disrupted by Jay’ko, a gifted classmate whose free-spirited artistry contrasts sharply with Skylar’s precision. What begins as rivalry slowly deepens into intimacy, challenging Skylar’s belief that greatness comes from control alone. As the final audition approaches, Skylar must decide whether to cling to perfection or risk vulnerability in pursuit of artistic freedom.
