There is one small pleasure, however: Ariel, a troubled but lovely blonde with a jealous boyfriend and a Bible-thumping minister father, who is responsible for keeping the town dance-free.

Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance, especially since the senior prom is around the corner, but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople.
