Abstract
When Ren (Noah Szto) and his mother move from Chicago to the small town of Bomont, Ren is prepared for the adjustment period at a new school. What he isn’t expecting are the odd local laws – including a ban on dancing, put in place by the local Reverend (Max Ramsay). With the help of Ariel, the Reverend's daughter (Mary McCorry), and his new friends, Ren helps the town to heal from a tragedy that affected them all.
