Plots:
Terri Fletcher is a small town girl with the voice of a big-time singer. When personal tragedy interrupts her steady life, Terri defies her father’s wishes and secretly heads off to spend a summer at a Los Angeles performing arts academy.
After a tragic family event, a young female follows her dreams and attends a performing arts school to help build her career. Along with some new friends, she does her best to push herself to get where she wants to go and continue the memory of a family member.
This film is about a teenage girl who is very upset about her brother’s death in a car crash. Terri has a love of singing and making up her own songs. Her brother (before his death) secretly submits a DVD of her singing to a musical summer camp down in L.A. Her father doesn’t want her to go, but secretly her mom lets her go and everything goes fine, except she has stage fright. She gets through her stage fright with the help of her new friend Jay. At the end of the contest everyone at the musical school have to perform something. And if they win, they win a scholarship along with it. Her dad finds out, comes down to L.A. and threatens to take her home! Will he let her stay? and will she win the contest? Viewers are on the edges of their seats to find out what happens…
