The story follows a pretty common formula from start to finish. A young woman loses her job and retreats home. She finds a new job which is in jeopardy because of funding. So she and the other lead plan a showcase to, you guessed it, save the arts program. Even the climax and ending follow the usual formula. This formula story does have some spice in terms of the individuals and their lifestyles. It is just enough spice to hold me through to the end. I don't know if it is another part of the styles inherent in the setting, but at times the story seems disjointed with it jumping from one situation to another without smooth transistion.
There are also some themes that are pretty much cliche. There's nothing wrong with the idea that you can be anything you want, but don't over simplify it. They do mention that you have to put in the work, but while events around them are threatening their own control of their lives, they seem to be leaving that out of the message they are giving their students.
After the usual early antagonism, Skye P. Marshall and Tobias Truvillion have chemistry as Kayla and Jordan work together to save the program. But it was a rough start with Kayla as her arrogance and pride threaten almost every relationship she is trying to develop. At times I questioned her sincerity as well.
