It begins as another ordinary day at the Peters' house. Maggie, a college student, lives with her widowed father, Vaughn, in a small Pennsylvania town. When Maggie presents him with ballroom dance lessons as a birthday gift, Vaughn is reminded of his past with his wife Sheila and their days of performing in ballroom competitions throughout their marriage. Not thoroughly convinced he should go back to the ballroom, Vaughn goes on a whim which leads to an unexpected chain of events he never dreamed would happen to him.
