Anna Bianchi, played by Emma Palmer is an Italian Catholic seamstress and unsatisfied with her life until she spots a curious ad in the paper: Give your life a lift. Wanted: A Dance Partner to dance for royalty. From the moment Anna summons up the courage to answer the ad, sparks fly. As Anna and Henry take their first steps together they embark on a journey that will transform their lives.
