In the film, Patton, who in the past decade has helped arrange approximately 15 Daddy Daughter Dances across the nation, and co-director Natalie Rae follow four young girls preparing for the event with their fathers in a prison in Washington, D.C. For some of the girls, the dance will be the only time they can touch or hug their fathers during sentences, some of which are as long as 20 years. The docu capture the girls as they get ready for the dance, while also filming the incarcerated fathers as they attend a part of the 12-week program within the jail that is meant to strengthen their relationship with their daughters.
