Ruby, a dance student, moves to New York to study at the Conservatory of Fine Arts. On her way there she meets Johnny, a hip hop violinist performing in the subway, and there are instant sparks. When Johnny's violin gets stolen, Ruby seeks him out and tries to help him by offering him a chance to participate in a contest that would get him a scholarship, even if Johnny is prejudiced toward what he sees as a clique of spoiled rich kids.

* ArtisticLicenseMusic: As Creator/TwoSetViolin point out in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9dfCRbrlkU&t=617s this video]], the violin acting is generally awful, especially from Johnny.
** Dishonorable mention goes to the sword-fighting with violin bows - which, given how expensive they are, no sane violinist would ''consider'' doing.

* NaiveEverygirl: Ruby is a more mature version of the trope. She doesn't end up treating anyone badly, but she has the typical arc of arriving to the big city, making a friend with a savvier girl, getting in the way of the AlphaBitch, falling for a guy, having a falling out with him and briefly being interested in the resident jerk instead before making up with her crush.

!! This film includes examples of the following tropes:
* BoyMeetsGirl: The basic premise - Ruby encounters Johnny in the subway, then makes a connection with him the second time she passes through and his violin gets stolen.
* BromanticFoil: Ruby and her roommate, Jazzy. Ruby is the romantic who falls for the TroubledButCute Johnny and manages to help him out. Jazzy hits it off with a TallDarkAndHandsome [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys biker guy]] and has a turbulent relationship that almost gets her suspended from the conservatory.
* RomanticFalseLead: Kyle, who's TheAce violinist at the conservatory. He tries to woo Ruby and she goes on a date with him when Johnny pushes her away. It doesn't last, especially when Kyle [[ArrogantKungFuGuy doesn't stop trying to bring everyone down.]]
* SternTeacher: Madame Markova, who appreciates Ruby and Jazzy's potential, but will not tolerate any misbehavior.
* UptownGirl: Ruby is implied to be upper or upper-middle class, opposite Johnny, who is a penniless immigrant who's at risk of deportation.
