1978 Chicago. For the first time in her adult life, Nicole Tate is without a job after being "let go" from her position as a fifth-grade teacher. She suddenly finds herself alone in Chicago with no real friends, no family, no job, and no love life. Wanting to tear up the town after being a quiet teacher for months, she heads to the local club where sex, drugs, and disco reign. There, she meets Dex Holden, owner of the hottest dance studio and school in the city, and he also happens to the be the sexiest man Nicole has ever seen. After a night of exploration and adventure with Dex and his smoldering partner, Felix, Dex offers Nicole a job as his studio receptionist and a spot as his partner in a dance contest that can both boost his career and help him buy the disco club he loves. But convincing the jealous Felix that Nicole deserves her spot in the dance contest and in Dex's heart is harder than it looks. Will the demure Nicole ever be the same after working with Dex, learning to dance, and making both men fall for her?
