Musicians from across the country arrive in Los Angeles to compete for a spot at Linda Perry's record label.

Linda has sessions with the remaining musicians; after working with all the artists, Linda makes a difficult decision.

The musicians must play for spare change on the streets; Linda uses the exercise to learn which contestants have the charisma to lure strangers in.

The performers are tested on spontaneity and improvisation at a unique rehearsal space; the contestants are assigned three random chords.

After creative differences, Anjuli's studio session comes to an abrupt end; Linda gets Courtney Love to mentor and critique the artists.

The fallout continues; Aimee quits the band; Linda suggests that Aimee stay on as a solo artist; Anjuli wants to redeem herself.
