 Honey (Jessica Alba) is a 22 year old hip hop dancer and teacher living in New York, trying to make her way to the top. While dancing at the club where she works, a famous video director s (David Moscow) assistant catches her on tape. She is cast in her first music video, and from there starts to choreograph. However, when she says no to her boss s advances, he fires her and ruins any possible future in dancing for her. Honey no longer has the money to buy a studio for the kids she teaches dance for so she and her students form a dance benefit.
