For Heather, music is everything. She has always dreamed about getting into the Juilliard School of Music and becoming a classical pianist. But all her dreams are shattered the day her mum dies and her life suddenly falls into silence. Left with nothing but a piano and debts, Heather's only option is to move in with her estranged father and half-brother. When her application for a scholarship is rejected, Heather's last hope to see her big dream come true is swept away until one day she meets Toby, a hip and handsome music store owner who opens up a whole new world to her - the world of DJ-ing and dance music. Heather is carried away by this enticing underground world, and her heart starts to beat again to the rhythm of a new life - and a new love. Heather eventually finds herself torn between two worlds of music and as her Juilliard audition approaches, time comes for her to choose. And for the first time in her life she starts questioning what it is that she really desires. (101 Films)
