How far is too far? At one of Manhattan's most elite ballet schools, pretty, polished dancers are hiding some terrible secrets and telling some twisted lies. Privileged Bette is flawless - like a ballerina in a music box. But living in the shadow of her ballet-star sister brings out a dangerous edge in her. Perfectionist June is tired of always being the understudy. This year she'll settle for nothing but the best - even if she must resort to some less-than-perfect means to get there. And new girl Gigi is already outperforming every other dancer at the conservatory, but the very act of dancing could kill her. With the competition growing fiercer with every performance, and harmless pranks growing ever darker, it's only a matter of time before one small spark ignites... and even the best get burned.
