As the deadline for auditions approaches, Lainey, the music teacher, and her co-worker, Coach Mellor, begin to clash over the direction of the show's theme.

Lainey envisions a modern pop-inspired showcase featuring the school's best vocalists and dancers, while Coach Mellor wants to bring back the classic boy band era with his group of teachers known as "The Super Awesome Fun Time Bunch." However, their conflicting ideas and personalities cause tensions to rise and may lead to the talent show being a disaster.
