Megan is a Julliard wannabe that wasn’t able to make cut and as a result her mother died on the way to the audition, which she blames herself for in the meantime and won’t dance. Thomas is a street dancer that is in debt to an obese crime lord, Sugar Bear, due to his crew’s recent loss in an epic street battle that ended with the death of one of their contestants.
