GET LITE documents the lives of Litefeet legends Larry Smoove, Kidd Patt, and Jayy Black as they try to make a legitimate career of their dance ambitions. By day, they play a cat-and-mouse game with the police, piecing together a living dancing on the subway. By night, they live the plight of inner-city youth, with poverty, violence, and drugs on all sides.

Darius and Hakeem dance on New York City trains to earn money and escape the crime-riddled streets. A woman sees Darius skills and offers him an opportunity to audition for a Juilliard travel dance team.

Darius is faced with the decision to pursue this life-changing path or help keep Hakeem out of trouble.
