Romance With A Twist on Hallmark Channel
According to the official synopsis, Luna (Jocelyn Hudon) is a former ballerina who left her dream behind for a more grounded life, managing her family’s construction business.
However, Luna’s life changes when she takes the job of converting a gymnasium into a studio for aerials. As she completes the work, she can’t resist giving the silks a try, just to find out if she still has it.

Meanwhile, this transports her back to her days on stage for just a moment before Bennett (Olivier Renaud), a professional aerialist, interrupts her. In fact, he is rather annoyed to find his contractor messing around on the silks.
Meanwhile, the studio is now ready for rehearsals for the local Hazelton Arts Festival where Bennett will perform an aerial duet in a show-stopping finale. There is only one problem. His partner unexpectedly bails at the last minute and he cannot do the show alone. With the festival mere weeks away, Bennett agrees to team up with Luna, who is eager to prove herself and get back on stage.
The former ballerina soon faces the challenge of a lifetime as she and Bennett rehearse for the show. While their hard work with this dynamic sport teaches them both to face their fears, it also brings them closer together. Will their relationship fail, or will Luna and Bennett find a way to take their love to new heights?
