Soledad Reyes decides to dance Carmen as part of a drum
and bugle corps competition, not knowing if it will help
or harm her chance of becoming a professional ballet
dancer but eager to pursue new options, including a
romance with the boy who invited her to audition. A dancer driven to succeed. A musical prodigy attempting to escape his past. The summer they share. And the moment it all goes wrong. Dance is Soledad Reyes’s life. About to graduate from
Miami’s Biscayne High School for the Performing Arts, she
plans on spending her last summer at home teaching in a
dance studio, saving money, and eventually auditioning for
dance companies. That is, until fate intervenes in the form
of fellow student Jonathan Crandall who has what sounds like
an outrageous proposition: Forget teaching. Why not spend
the summer performing in the intense environment of the
competitive drum and bugle corps? The corps is going to be
performing Carmen, and the opportunity to portray the
character of the sultry gypsy proves too tempting for
Soledad to pass up, as well as the opportunity to spend more
time with Jonathan, who intrigues her in a way no boy ever
has before. But in an uncanny echo of the story they perform every
evening, an unexpected competitor for Soledad's affections
appears: Taz, a member of an all-star Spanish soccer team.
One explosive encounter later Soledad finds not only her
relationship with Jonathan threatened, but her entire future
as a professional dancer.
