Cast includes Andrew Burnap, Blythe Danner, Victoria Hill, Elizabeth McGovern, Matt McGrath, Miranda Otto, Haley Lu Richardson, Géza Röhrig, and Campbell Scott. In this period drama, prim Norma Carlisle (played by Elizabeth McGovern) volunteers to travel with 15-year-old prodigy Louise Brooks (played by Haley Lu Richardson)—not yet the Jazz Age star—to audition at an acclaimed New York dance academy. Louise embraces the freedom from social norms that were developing in the early 1920s, which frustrates Norma and distracts her from a search for her birth parents.
