In Atlantic City during the Great Depression, marathon dance contests offer desperate couples the chance to win cash prizes by dancing for days on end. Rita Racine, a veteran contestant trapped in a miserable marriage to her manipulative partner Mick, meets charming pilot Bill Kelly and finds an unexpected connection. But Bill harbors a supernatural secret — he is a ghost, given one last chance to return to the world of the living and experience the love he never had.
