Hydee and her band enter the "So Stellar" talent contest in hopes of getting on national television and winning a recording contract, but first they must deal with a rival band of bullies, tons of homework, a twelve-foot tall samurai monster and a teacher's lounge that has been turned upside-down! Can they make it to the show on time and make their dreams come true?

An aging cop is assigned the ordinary task of escorting a fast-talking witness from police custody to a courthouse, but they find themselves running the gauntlet as other forces try to prevent them from getting there.
