Um Ritmo Perfeito
Ao chegar à nova faculdade, Beca descobre que não se dá com muita gente mas, por qualquer razão, é atraída para um grupo que nunca teria escolhido por si: ao lado de raparigas ruins, queridas e estranhas, que a única coisa que têm em comum é cantar bem quando estão juntas. Quando Beca leva este grupo de cantoras acústicas para fora do seu mundo de arranjos tradicionais e harmonias perfeitas, para um registo totalmente diferente, elas irão levar as cordas vocais ao limite para chegar ao topo do canto a cappella. O resultado pode ser a melhor coisa que alguma vez fizeram ou a mais louca… ou provavelmente um pouco de ambas.
