Talented dancer Amalie grows up in West End, the wealthier part of Oslo. Life is going well for her. That is, until her father finds himself in financial trouble and he and Amalie are forced to move to Stovner, a poor Oslo suburb that couldn’t be more different from West End. Desperate to uphold her wealthy image, Amalie starts leading a double life and gets caught in a complicated web of secrets and lies. Then she meets hip hop dancer Mikael from Stovner. His perspective soon changes hers.
