The students of Vancouver International Ballet Academy are preparing to perform the ballet Coppelia. A ballet about dolls, love, and trickery, Coppelia doesn't have a moral, and neither do the rehearsals. If Taylor, Julian, Alexandra, and Kaitlyn don't rise to meet the challenges this ballet is putting them through, they might not make it on stage. The dancers might be fully alive, but they have more than enough real-life drama to keep them busy. The casting of the principal role of Swanhilda keeps getting changed, but is it really about who's the best dancer right now, or is something else influencing the casting decisions?
