Alone, they haven’t had the strength or spirit to face what life has hurled at them. For Laurie, partnering with Ed has erased some of his fear of performing and brought back joy to a sport he wasn’t sure he could ever truly love again.As Laurie and Ed lose themselves in dance, their lives continue to spin around them: Ed’s injury makes it clear he’s nowhere near recovery, Laurie feels the pressure by friends and family to perform once more, and the community center that has become such an important part of both their worlds threatens to close. For Ed, dancing with Laurie becomes a way to reconnect with his body after losing football. Both Ed and Laurie have heartbreak in their pasts, but somehow dancing together eases their individual pain. But when a bargain Ed strikes at the center lands him as an assistant in Laurie’s ballroom dancing class, their perceptions of each other turn upside down. It’s just that every time he turns around, that damn professional dancer is in his way, hating Ed right back. He’s bounced back, more or less, from the neck injury that permanently benched his semi-pro football career, and he volunteers now at a local community center. Ed Maurer’s life would be fine if he could just get Laurie Parker off his back.
