Optimistic teacher Will Schuester tries to inspire a group of ragtag performers to restore McKinley High School’s glee club to its former glory and take part in a national competition. Of course, it would be an easier task if it weren’t for the current stars of the choir: a nerdy soprano, a diva-in-training who refuses to sing back-up, a geeky guitar player and an awkward girl who struggles to suppress her stutter. Still, with two real talents in his sites, Will and fellow teacher Emma Pillsbury are determined to do whatever they can to prove all naysayers wrong and make the show choir great again.
