Plot

Twenty-year-old Tara's life is noticeably adrift. Eighteen months after the life-changing injury that occurred in the penultimate episode of the TV series, she finds herself taking a college writing class and working as a waitress in the Sydney Opera House, while her former dance rival and current roommate Abigail enjoys a place as a promising dancer in the National Ballet Company. Her best friend Katrina Karamakov is now a successful children’s television performer in New York while her close friend Ben Tickle is a principal for the Austin Ballet. Tara's boyfriend Christian is teaching dance to young children, and he asks a delighted Tara to move in with him.

Tara is in the process of suing the National Ballet for negligence in causing her injury. She stands to win close to a million dollars in compensation thanks to compelling evidence in the form of a personal testimonial provided by Tara’s former ballet teacher Ms Raine. However, after being casually invited to audition by the Company's artistic director, Madeline, Tara drops the court case and begins training. When her audition proves unsuccessful, she is convinced by Kat to take a trip to New York City and stay with her. Tara plans to spend the trip auditioning for dance companies. Christian disapproves of her plan and he ends their relationship shortly after she arrives in New York.

Tara and Kat have a happy reunion at first, but they have a falling out when Tara expresses concerns about Kat's lifestyle and mocks her current boyfriend. Tara also runs into another former Academy classmate, Ollie, who has been auditioning unsuccessfully for a long time and shows her the rigors of trying to "make it" as a dancer.

Tara leaves New York to stay with Ms Raine and her husband Marcus at their ranch in Austin. She hopes for an audition at Marcus' Austin Ballet, but Ms Raine pushes her to reevaluate her goals. Ben is also staying at the ranch, and Tara learns that his leukemia has returned. He is under strict instructions to avoid exertion, although he longs to dance. In defiance, Ben and Tara secretly create a contemporary dance on the theme of "Orpheus and Persephone" for the upcoming Fringe Festival, and they enter the festival as choreographers under the amalgamation "Benstara".

After successfully performing in the festival, Tara again encounters Madeline who has brought the company on tour to New York. After seeing Tara dance, Madeline offers her a place in the corps de ballet as another dancer has pulled out due to injuries. Having achieved her dream, Tara finds life in the corps demanding and unfulfilling. She ultimately leaves a performance after receiving a call from a distraught Ollie, who has replaced Tara as dancer in "Benstara" and as Ben's carer, telling her that Ben has collapsed and is in hospital.

Tara resigns from the company and reunites with Kat and Christian, who has flown in from Australia to tell her that he misses her. Inspired by Tara's rebellion, Abigail takes Tara's original place in the fringe performance despite her active contract with the National Ballet Company whilst Tara and Christian watch from the wings.

Back in Sydney, the friends watch and participate in a high-energy performance by Christian's dance students at the Samuel Lieberman Centre. Having realised her new ambition to become a choreographer, Tara maps out her plans for her next piece in the journal she receives from Christian, confidently predicting, "this next part is going to be amazing", presumably referring not only to the dance but their future together.
