Deception, desire, defiancé, and all on the dancefloor… The Nationals are approaching, and Sacha has her eye set on the prize. She will do anything to win, even if it means the end of her and Dane. But she didn’t account for one thing. Maddi, the new girl on the salsa scene. She’s got the moves, and quickly becomes the new sweetheart on the dancefloor. Bitter rivalry ensues as they fight to be the best. Who will come out on top?

Maddison Lee, Maddi for short, is in training. The biggest Salsa competition in New Zealand - The National Salsa Championships, are coming up, and Maddi, with partner Dane, have to defend their title. The competition this year will be fierce, especially where Sacha, Dane's ex, is concerned. She and Jessie missed out last year and are determined to do whatever it takes to win this time. Even if it means the end of Maddi and Dane. The pressure to succeed proves too much and Maddi seeks solace in the arms of shy guy, Ricki Macavoy. Slowly she brings him out of his shell and they become inseparable. Their friendship means everything to her. Dane isn't having any of that. He wants Maddi back and will do anything to prove his love to her. But does he go too far? With the help of Ricki and friends, Maddi is able to put Dane out of her head and move forward, starting with the Championship.

Another year, another clash at the Nationals. Ricki and Maddi have teamed up with some friends to compete this year, only this time, Ricki has something secret up his sleeves. The only problem is, he’s not very good at keeping things from Maddi. On a path of self-destruction, Sacha is on a downward spiral. With no one to turn to, and no idea how to fix things, she finds comfort in the bottom of a bottle. Like Mother, like daughter. In the blink of an eye, their whole world is shattered as friends fight to make things right.
