DESERT FILM SOCIETY FUND RAISER PRESENTATION OF HIGH STRUNG

In a city where only the best succeed, two radically talented people from opposite sides of the tracks need to find harmony to achieve their dreams. Ruby Adams (Keenan Kampa, the first and only American dancer at Russia’s Mariinsky Ballet) is a dancer from the Midwest on scholarship, living her first day in New York City.
Johnnie Blackwell (Nicholas Galitzine, The Beat Beneath My Feet) is a British musician, playing for money in the subway tunnels. Ruby's world is classical and disciplined; Johnnie's is improvisational and street smart. When a hip-hop battle gone wrong throws these two artists together, they immediately clash but can't deny it when sparks begin to fly.
