An unlikely opportunity comes when he is assigned to be the dance instructor for the upcoming Governor's Ball of the powerful political family, the Evelinos, a chance for him to rekindle his lost passion. At this ball the engagement of the governor's son Dylan Evelino (Jake Cuenca), and Cedes Fernandez (Angel Locsin) will be announced. Despite her hatred for dirty politics, Cedes has no choice but to succumb to Dylan's decision because she's indebted to the family.

As their lives intertwine through dance, Emman and Cedes find themselves resisting an affair: one that holds the truths to their painful pasts and the memories of a boundless love. Pursuing their feelings for each other will only set fire to the dangers and trappings of their love, so much so that their love could cost them their lives. Can the strength of their love overcome the power of the dangers surrounding them?
