Dewey Finn (Jaycie Cohen) is a down on his luck rock musician who impersonates his friend Ned (Kole Rosin) as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. Ill-suited to actually teaching, Dewey hatches a plan to harness his students’ talent by forming a rock band to compete in an upcoming Battle of the Bands contest. Along the way, he dodges Principal Rosalie Mullins (Dolly Romano), teachers and parents as the band comes together and the students gain confidence in themselves.
