What it is
Chicago teenager Ren McCormack moves to the small town of Bomont, where dancing and rock music have been banned since a fatal car accident killed several local teens, including the minister's son. Ren befriends the minister's daughter Ariel and campaigns to overturn the ban so the high school can hold a senior prom.
