Teenager Will Burton (Gaelan Connell) lives in his head, and his head is filled with music. When his mother gets a new job in New Jersey, Will starts his junior year at a new school only to find the old cliques still apply, but rock-n-roll rules the scene.

Perpetually a misfit, Will strikes up a friendship with like-minded outsider Sa5m (Vanessa Hudgens). They are both surprised when the school’s “it” girl, Charlotte (Aly Michalka) recruits Will to help assemble a band to compete in “Bandslam,” a battle of the bands that is “Texas High School Football BIG.” Charlotte’s ex-boyfriend Ben Wheatly (Scott Porter) is poised to win with his band Glory Dogs – Springsteen wannabes down to their hats. For the first time in his life, Will finds he is uniquely suited to not only participate in something, but to truly make a difference.

It also appears, based on the trailer after, that a preview of New Moon will show before the movie!

The plot follows Will Burton (Gaelan Connell), who is used to being bullied or completely ignored by his schoolmates. So when the school’s “it” girl, the cool and popular former cheerleader Charlotte Barnes (Alyson Michalka) starts inviting him to spend time with her, the teenager is stunned — as is his single mom Karen (Lisa Kudrow).

Impressed by his eclectic knowledge of music, Charlotte, a gifted singer-songwriter, asks Will to manage her rock/ska band. Her goal is to take revenge on her egocentric musician ex-boyfriend Ben Wheatley (Scott Porter) at a regional battle of the bands – “Bandslam”- which Wheatley is poised to win with his band Glory Dogs – Springsteen wannabes down to their hats.

Unsure of what he’s getting himself into, Will agrees to help Charlotte’s band and includes Bug (Charlie Saxton) and Omar (Tim Jo) in it, eventually expanding it with a crew of like-minded outcasts. Against all odds, the group’s sound starts to come together and their prospects for success look bright.

Even more surprising, Will starts losing his “loser-status.” To boot, there is a potential romance brewing with Sam (Vanessa Hudgens), a like-minded classmate with untapped musical talents.

For the first time in his life, Will finds he is uniquely suited to not only participate in something, but to truly make a difference.
