Angela Youngers

One year after the loss of her husband Jason, Annie Obless struggles with grief while raising her two young children. Her therapist insists that her healing is being halted by her inability to open up and share details of Jason’s death. Longing to move forward, but disinterested in a traditional support group, she enrolls in a ballroom dance class, seeking an escape from the constant flashbacks of her former life and the still-present flood of guilt.

At the first night of Ballroom Basics, Annie meets Milo Warner, the handsome, enigmatic instructor who is eager to have a dance partner to help lead the class. As she attempts to master a variety of dance steps and juggle her responsibilities as a mother, Annie reluctantly begins to explore friendship and flirtation after Milo reveals his own experience with love and loss.

In spite of her therapist’s warnings about starting a new relationship, a potential romance and the possibility of moving on drives Annie to seek solace in Milo as their connection deepens and intensifies. Can her time with Milo help her come to terms with who she is and who she needs to be for her children, or will Annie find herself opening up to more than she had planned?
