Unfortunately for him, in a health assignment that counts towards the whole semester grade, Cooper gets paired with an unpopular girl, Hot Dog Helen. To regain his popularity and pride, Cooper and his buddies sign up for the Battle of the Bands. Their plans diminish because of their lack of musical talent. Can this team of guys come up with a great scheme to survive sophomore year and still rock out?
