Handlung
Am Tag der Aufnahmeprüfung stehen etliche potentielle Schüler vor den Türen der High School of Performing Arts in New York. Alle möchten einen begehrten Platz an der renommierten High School bekommen, doch nur für wenige wird sich der Traum erfüllen: Darunter befinden sich Denise, die auf Wunsch ihres Vaters klassische Musik am Piano lernen soll, die schüchterne Jenny, die für den Schauspielunterricht vorspricht, der Rapper und Schauspieler Malik, Victor, der schon jetzt eigene Stücke am Keyboard schreibt, Marco, der die Jury mit seinem Gesang begeistert, die Tänzer Kevin und Alice, Joy, die sich auch für das Schauspielfach interessiert, und Neil, der endlich seinen ersten eigenen Film drehen möchte. Schon im ersten Schuljahr müssen die neuen Schüler feststellen, dass ihre Ausbildung auf dem Weg zu Ruhm und Ehre schwierig, lang und anstrengend ist.
