After guitarist Dewey Finn was fired, he faced a lot of guilt and depression. He works with a former group member, Ned Schneebly, who is now an alternative teacher. Dewey accepted a position as an alternative teacher at an arrogant private primary school where his character and hijinx had a positive impact on his students. Finding out they are talented young musicians, he decided to form a rock band with them to win a $ 10,000 cash prize at a local orchestra competition. Once Dewey won a contest called Battle of the Bands, the prize money would solve his financial problems and bring him back to rock music. Steve Shedloski
