1987: Poised to sweep the floor at the UK Junior Salsa Championships, 13-year-old Bruce Garrett has fire in his heels and the world at his feet... Until a freakish bullying incident robs him of his confidence and his life is diverted down a very different path. So it is that 25 years later, having locked away his boyhood dreams, Bruce finds himself out-of-shape, unloved and well and truly wedged in his 'comfort zone'. It takes Julia (Rashida Jones), his smart, funny, gorgeous new american boss, to shake him from his emotional stupor and force him to re-examine his dull, passionless existence. But she's out of his league, and with expert lothario and alpha-male office nemesis Drew (Chris O'Dowd) overtly in pursuit of her, it's enough to make Bruce want to give up on himself again. Can his loyal sister (Olivia Coleman), childhood dance instructor (Ian McShane), and crazy new amateur salsa pal (Kayvan Novak) help bruce unshackle his dancing beast, regain his long lost fury and claim the love of his life?
