Working as the custodian's assistant, he observes the various students there, such as dancers Nora Clark (JENNA DEWAN) and Lucy Avila (DREW SIDORA), as well as composer Miles Darby (MARIO). They don't pay much attention to him, but when Nora's dance partner sprains his ankle and her singer boyfriend Brett Dolan (JOSH HENDERSON) doesn't have the time to assist rehearsing her fall senior showcase performance, she takes up Tyler's unlikely offer to help.
The two are an awkward fit initially, and Mac isn't too happy about all of the time his friend is spending at the school. Nevertheless, Tyler works hard to impress Nora, and their working arrangement segues into a friendship and then romance, although they have their share of ups and downs. From that point on, Nora tries to fulfill her dream of being a dancer while Tyler finds himself torn between his two contrasting worlds.
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, including the male protagonist and his friends who steal cars and vandalize a school. A thug briefly fights with one guy, threatens him and another with a gun, followed by him or a minion shooting a young teenager in a drive-by shooting (we only hear the act, but see the limp and slightly bloody body immediately after the act). That's followed by some tense family material (grieving) that also includes a teen being frustrated by lack of parental support and talk of parents being dead or in prison.
A few characters drink beer, while some of the behavior (including the dance moves and related material) might be enticing for some kids to imitate.
