Over the years Dee Miller has come to be known as Miss Thang, the hottest dancer in Chicago's underground house music scene. A former tap dancing prodigy. Dee now spends her time ruling the dance floor at the local night club. Living off her mother and occasionally braiding hair in her mother's salon for spending money, Dee continually ignores everyone's pleas for her to grow up and become a responsible adult. Dee is confronted with reality when her mother's expensive gambling habit puts everything that they hold dear in jeopardy. She must now find a way to salvage their family finances, as well as her relationship with her mother. Dee's only comfort in these trying times is a new friend who re-introduces her to the world of tap dancing, an art form that has always been close to her heart.
