Source plot synopsis — includes the ending
By day, Kevin Laird is a respected schoolteacher in Beverly Hills. By night, he slips away to a gritty warehouse in East Los Angeles, where local barrio kids gather to dance the lambada.
Kevin dazzles the crowd with his moves and earns the teens' trust—then uses that trust to teach them math and literacy in an improvised backroom classroom. But his carefully balanced double life begins to unravel when one of his students, Sandy, spots him at the club. The next day in class, she fantasizes about a passionate dance and kiss with him, blurring the lines between admiration and obsession. When jealousy takes over, Sandy reveals Kevin's secret, setting off a chain of events that jeopardizes both his career and his carefully constructed world.
