Love and heartbreak top the dance card at the Stardust Dance.

- Mason and Carrie Marie can't get up the nerve to ask each other to dance . . .

- Lindy is sure her best friend is making a huge mistake with her boyfriend but doesn't know how to tell her . . .

- Russ's girlfriend has died, and now he's just trying to live without her . . .

- Peggy Lee has grown up with Tennessee-how can she ever think of him as more than just a friend?

On this one night of the year, the Dogwood School cafeteria is transformed-into a world where stories take place. With a little mood lighting, a touch of glitter, the right music-and courage-anything can happen.
