Gary (Russell Smith) wants to become a magician to get rich and meet beautiful women (and presumably see them in half).

The players Danny most admires are South Americans, such as Pele and Carlos Riga, who he feels have a special rhythm and flexibility.

To the surprise of himself and his friends, Danny turns out to be a pretty good Latin dancer and finds himself smitten with a student in his dance class, Lucy (Russell).

The film also stars Brian Flanagan who plays an inspiring cameo role along with members of Celbridge Town Football Club.
