- Synopsis
- After touring the world with his band True Blue, Bodi takes some time off and returns to his home village, Snow Mountain. Life has changed. Sheep and Wolves are living in harmony. However, this doesn't sit well with local sheep Hazel, who enjoyed the ‘good old days’ when there was conflict and battles between the two groups. She vows to somehow stir up trouble and bring back the tension between the wolves and sheep.
  
  Meanwhile Bodi learns that an all-girl band on a popular musical contest show do not know who his idol, the Rock Legend Angus Scattergood is! Compelled to join the show after Angus’ departure, Bodi takes his place as a musical coach for the girl pop group to restore the rock legend's good name. It is an unlikely pairing as the girls’ performances rely on flashy lighting, showy costumes and a bubble machine. In contrast Bodi wants them to embrace the raw energy of pure Rock & Roll and the power of music. They butt heads, which leads to an epic failure when they perform for the first time on live TV.
  
  However, the girls and Bodi eventually connect. Bodi teaches them how to find their voice and write an original song, and they in turn help him up his game on the TV show. Soon Bodi is tossing barbs and insults back and forth with the other music coach. Bodi is a hit with the audience and becomes an overnight TV personality sensation. Suddenly Bodi and the girls are moving in opposite directions, as the girls craft a new song about harmony and togetherness, whilst Bodi's performance on the show is causing a divide back in the village.
  
  Through a misunderstanding the girls are convinced Bodi dislikes their new song and thus decide to leave the show. Shortly after Bodi makes the shocking discovery that the host of the show is in fact the disgruntled sheep from his village Hazel, who has been masquerading as a wolf! Hazel tries to prevent Bodi from revealing the truth, but with help from the girls and Angus Scattergood, they are able to unmask the phony host. In the end the girls debut their new song and bring everyone together with the message of harmony.
