After spending a year studying together in Singapore, three friends – Ally from Australia, Emma from Germany, and Jackie, a Singaporean local – have to say goodbye. Ending their year together with one final dance performance as a trio, they are ready to part ways. But when Jackie's brother Josh gifts each of them a USB stick with their very own chatroom software, things take a surprising turn: Instead of just being a chatroom, the software beams them straight into cyberspace.
Emma, Jackie and Ally realise that keying in their access codes backwards gets them home, their panic turns to exhilaration. Not only have they found a way to meet in cyberspace but they can do it any time they want! The girls can't wait to try it again.
As the excitement of their new chatroom kicks in, Emma invites Jackie and Ally to Hamburg for a dance battle she is performing in with her friend Nicholas.
When Jackie's dad forces her to quit dancing and concentrate on her schoolwork, the girls decide to secretly enter the National Dance Competition in Singapore, proving that she can dance and get 100% on her report card.
Emma and Jackie are full of excitement about their Australian sleepover at Ally's farm. When they go for a horse ride however, things go horribly wrong. Emma's horse suddenly bolts away, leaves the trail and throws her, leaving her stranded and lost deep in the bush.
Just when the girls think they've got life with the chatroom under control, things take a turn for the worse when Josh borrows Jackie's computer to use in his job as a DJ at a Halloween party. Emma and Ally are suddenly stranded in Singapore and unable to return home.
The future of the chatroom is thrown into uncertainty when Ally's father complains about her phone bills and threatens to confiscate her mobile. Desperate for money to pay her debts, Ally jumps at the chance of a dog-walking job for a neighbour of Emma's in Germany.
a day at the beach turn into a disaster when Ally's brother Damon gets hold of her phone and accidentally transports himself into the chatroom—it looks like the chatroom's existence will no longer be a secret!
The girls dance practice becomes increasingly demanding after they learn that they have to be assessed by an official to actually enter the National Dance Competition. Forced to devote even more time to rehearsals, Jackie's obligations at home begin to weigh her down and she struggles to manage her very overcrowded schedule.
With the imminent release of rock sensation, David Kline's latest single, the entire teenage population goes Kline-crazy. Emma, Ally and Jackie are ecstatic when Nicolas asks them to a special launch party in Hamburg to celebrate the event.
Ally's school is holding a formal dance and she's not looking forward to it. The whole idea of getting dressed up for an event she doesn't want to attend is bad enough but even worse, she doesn't have a date. Emma and Jackie promptly go into match making-mode, persuading a surprised Dan to ask her.
Convinced that Jackie is once again being overwhelmed by her hectic life style, Ally and Emma drag her to Australia in the hope of getting her to relax with a bush-walk and picnic. But the generosity isn't appreciated by Jackie who is quick to express her frustration at being hauled away from her commitments in Singapore. A growing tension starts to appear between the girls.
Emma needs help because she's delayed doing an art class assignment until the last minute. As the task requires her to create a work in the style of another culture, Ally lends her an Indigenous Australian dot painting given to her family as a gift. Grateful, Emma takes the painting, intending to use it as inspiration for her own artwork and promises Ally that she'll return it the following day. But Emma loses track of time and ends up handing in the dot painting as her own!
Ally's world comes to a crashing halt when her father organises a surprise party for her mother on the same day as the first dance elimination contest is to be held in Singapore.
Ally's brother, Damon, becomes increasingly suspicious of the sudden comings and goings of Jackie and Emma and he determines to find out what's behind it all. The situation is brought to a head when the girls have to learn a new dance routine in only two days. But because this period coincides with Open Day at the Henson's farm, Jackie and Emma are forced to travel back and forth to Ally's place to rehearse.
Emma, Ally and Jackie are thrilled when Michelle tells them that they have been enrolled in an elite dance development camp. Their excitement quickly wears off though when, soon after arriving, they discover that archrival Chelsea and her entourage are also attending.
When Nicholas insists on delivering a birthday present to Jackie at her house, he sets the girls some serious problems. He naturally thinks Jackie lives in Hamburg and so the first task for Emma is to find a house that they can pretend is Jackie's family home.
Ally isn't happy when she learns that Dan will be staying at her house for a few weeks. Even though she gets on okay with Dan these days, her main worry is about ensuring that the chatroom remains a secret.
When Ally has to do an architecture assignment for school, Emma suggests that she and Jackie join her in Germany to see some real Baroque buildings in the nearby town of Lüneburg.
Having been chosen to appear in a photo shoot for the cover of a dance magazine, Emma, Jackie and Ally head to Sydney to find some new costumes. The fun filled shopping expedition takes a turn for the worse however when Jackie's neighbours from Singapore accidentally spot her!
It's exam time for Emma and she's suffering from exhaustion. On top of studying all night, it's coming up to the dance semi-finals and daily rehearsals are intense. Hoping to use her school holidays to get as much practice as possible, Emma is shocked to hear that her father has arranged a family holiday for the entire period.
The girls' leisurely boat trip off the Australian coast takes a dramatic turn when their dinghy has an engine malfunction. With no oars and no phone reception, Ally is forced to swim to shore to try and get help.
To her great dismay, Ally finds herself stuck in the chatroom when her mobile phone fails. Her hopes of a speedy escape are dashed when she learns that Jackie and Emma's phones are also playing up.
The girls decide to celebrate the end of their chatroom fourteen days before it's programmed to shut down completely. Then they can concentrate on what really matters — winning the dance finals. Choosing to have one fun activity in each country, they decide on jet-boating on Sydney Harbour, taking a bungee chair in Singapore and attending a dance party in Hamburg. But the day takes a curious turn when Jackie's in a shopping mall in Singapore and spots a teenage girl putting stolen CD's into Chelsea's bag.
With the dance finals only days away, the girls run into some sudden and serious problems. Not only do they have to figure out a way to get their parents to sign their competition entry forms, but Chelsea is growing more and more suspicious about where Emma and Ally actually live.
With only twenty-four hours before the dance finals, a mixture of nerves and excitement fills the chatroom. Having worked towards this day for the past six months the pressure is on, especially for Jackie. Forbidden to dance because of study commitments, this is the one opportunity she has to prove to her father that she can combine dancing and schoolwork.
