Optimistic teacher Will Schuester tries to inspire a group of ragtag performers to restore McKinley High School's glee club to its former glory. 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 goth girl. Still, with two real talents in his sights, Will is determined to do whatever he can to prove all naysayers wrong - most of all conniving cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester - and make the show choir great again.
