Dancing Backwards In High Heels

Forty-one-year-old Madeleine Hutchinson is in a rut. From the outside, she seems pretty together: she has a responsible, caring husband, two healthy boys, and she's starting to make a few friends after the familys' move from Chicago to Melbourne. So why does she feel like her marriage is a cage, and why does she feel so invisible? Lost one rainy Melbourne evening, she catches a glimpse of a couple dancing in a warmly lit studio. The next day something is unleashed inside and she decides to start Latin American dancing. From the first lesson, she's hooked. When she dances, she's neither wife nor mother: she's just herself. And when she meets Hugh, a gorgeous younger man in her class, she discovers an irresistible chemistry. Or is it? As Maddie is drawn closer to the thing she thinks she wants the most, her life begins to unravel. She's torn: part of her yearns to be closer to Hugh; another part fights it, knowing an affair would destroy her family. Maddie is forced to work out who she really is, and what she really wants from her life.
