Film Description:
Over the years Dee Miller has come to be known as Miss Thang, the hottest dancer in Chicago's club scene. A former tap dancing prodigy. Dee now lives off her mother and occasionally braids hair in her mother's salon for spending money. She continually ignores everyone's plea for her to grow up and become a responsible adult. Dee is confronted with reality when her mother's gambling habit puts everything that they hold dear in jeopardy. She must now find a way to salvage their family finances, as well as her relationship with her mother. Dee's only comfort in these trying times is a new friend who re-introduces her to the world of tap dancing, an art form that has always been close to her heart.
