According to the official synopsis, Luna (Hudon) is a former dancer, who left that dream behind her for a grounded life, managing her family’s construction business. She gets the opportunity to transform a gymnasium into a studio for aerials.
Meanwhile, as she sneaks a moment to try dancing in the silks, she is surreptitiously discovered by Bennet (Renaud). Bennet is a professional aerialist, who has returned home from performing worldwide.
He is not too pleased to walk in and find his contractor messing around on the silks. However, when his partner for the upcoming show drops out, he decides to recruit Luna to perform with him.
