Plot
The year is 1982? Brad Roberts is Worcester High School's star football quarterback and dating the captain of the cheerleading squad. However, what seems like the perfect life is not complete. Brad secretly plays in a heavy metal band, and dreams of being a pop star. Brad's parents are separated, but still live together...with his mom's new boyfriend Lou Pearlman. When Lou is inspired to create the first ever American boyband, Brad decides to become a part of it. He heads the new group, converts two of his hard rock buddies into homosexuals, and finds a couple of drag queens to round out the group (boybands must have five "members," of course).
