The story follows five desperate high school students who meet in detention, realize they can be a big hit if they work at it, and ultimately form a band called Lemonade Mouth that becomes a champion for students sidelined by the high school elite. The story is compiled by freshman Naomi Fishmeier and is told through the point of views of each of the members of the band, who have their own personal struggles to overcome in high school.
