Synopsis

The legacy of legendary dancer and choreographer Honey Daniels lives on in spirited 17 year-old Maria (Katerina Graham - THE VAMPIRE DIARIES TV series). After a brush with the law, Maria has returned to her gritty Bronx roots to rebuild her life with nothing but a talent for street dance and a burning ambition to prove herself. She finds refuge in the place that made her feel most alive as kid—the rec center where Honey's exuberant classes first ignited her passion for dance. Keeping on the straight and narrow means living with Honey's mom Connie (Lonette McKee) and holding down two jobs just to make ends meet. But a rare night out at a local dance club gives her an opportunity to let loose with a joy and energy she had almost forgotten.

Maria's killer moves catch the eye of Brandon (Randy Wayne), a Rec Center volunteer, who invites her to help him transform a group of gifted but undisciplined dancers called the HD's. Maria's skills also attract the attention of her old boyfriend Luis (Christopher 'War' Martinez), the charismatic leader of the award-winning 718 dance crew, who hopes to lure her back into the street world she is trying to escape. Seeing a chance at creating a new and meaningful life, Maria pours her heart and soul into dance and begins training the HDs to compete on the television competition "Battle Zone"—which means going up against the 718 and Luis. Like Honey before her, Maria rediscovers the thrill of dancing as she finds out who she truly is and where she belongs.

Inspired by HONEY, the hip hop movie phenomenon starring Jessica Alba, Mekhi Phifer, Joy Bryant and Lil' Romeo, HONEY 2 takes audiences into the complex world of street crews who express both their individuality and community through an awe-inspiring array of dance styles. Energetic choreography, a diverse cast and gravity-defying stunts provide a breathtaking background for the world of competitive dance-offs.

HONEY 2 is directed by Bille Woodruff (BEAUTY SHOP), who brought the first HONEY to the screen in 2003 and is renowned throughout the music industry.
