From real-life dance champions Candace H. Caplin and Ronny Dutra, False Steps tells the story of Rae Applebaum, a struggling playwright thrown into chaos when her recently widowed mother Sophie falls head-over-heels (and heels-over-head) for a charming, much younger ballroom dance instructor named Paulo. 

Suspicions swirl, secrets surface and a retired NYPD homicide detective is pulled into the family fray. What follows is a madcap tango through maternal tensions, romantic confusion and a whole lot of sequins.
