The second film in the "High Strung" franchise, the movie centers around Zander Raines, a dazzling and tempestuous young choreographer, played by Thomas Doherty, who gives the break of a lifetime to two hopeful artists when he casts a stunning contemporary dancer, Barlow, played by Juliet Doherty, and innovative pianist, Charlie, played by Harry Jarvis, in New York's most-anticipated new Broadway show: "Free Dance." But the move throws off the show's delicate creative balance when Charlie falls hard for Barlow, while Zander embraces her as his muse.
