Radio Rebel

Tara Adams leads a double life, shy in class but secretly broadcasting as Radio Rebel. She balances schoolwork, crushes, and the lure of spreading truth through the mic. Her stepfather Rob runs SlamFM and begins to sense there’s more to his daughter.

Gavin and Gabe lead a band called The G’s, dreaming of a prom-night spotlight. They leave a set of demo recordings in the drama room for the school to hear. The songs become the spark Tara will later use on her radio show.

On her next show, Tara blasts the demo tracks, inviting the student body to feel the music and release their emotions. The act unsettles the school's quiet balance and raises Tara's profile. The moment marks a turning point from private hobby to public movement.

Principal Moreno views Rebel as a threat to order and warns of expulsion for anyone listening or aiding the rebellion. The crackdown targets the growing underground movement and adds pressure on Tara to hide or defend her identity. The school environment grows tense as discovery seems imminent.

Cami Q arrives on campus with a recording declaring Rebel's voice will be heard again, legitimizing Tara's secret. Her presence inspires Tara to be bolder and gives the movement a new voice. The dynamic shifts from quiet rebellion to a visible force within the school.

With Cami Q's endorsement, Tara's defiance grows and the school's counterculture mood swells. The rebel identity gains traction among students, even as Moreno tightens control. Tara begins to take more risks to maintain Rebel's momentum.

The prom nomination becomes a flashpoint: admitting Rebel in front of the entire student body would reveal Tara's secret. Tara declines the crown, hoping to preserve her anonymity and protect her friends. The tension around the prom builds toward a dramatic confrontation.

Moreno cancels the prom, triggering protests inside and outside SlamFM. Tara and Audrey rally listeners to voice their true feelings, turning the broadcast into a rallying point for the movement. A wave of support begins to push back against the administration.

Cami Q stands by Tara as they announce a bold plan: stage a reverse-prom, the Morp, to reclaim the night on their own terms. Stacy plots to steal attention with her own house party and Kim tries to infiltrate SlamFM to uncover Rebel's identity. The stakes rise as rivalries intertwine with the movement.

Gavin distances himself from The G's, tiring of Gabe's vanity and the veneer of fame. The personal loyalties shift as the Morp approaches. The band's dynamics reflect the broader conflict between authenticity and image.

On Morp day, Moreno supervises the crowd while Cami Q announces the prom queen. Tara, supported by a flood of allies, steps forward to reveal her true self as Rebel. The moment tests the administration's power and validates the students' willingness to come out.

Tara publicly declares Rebel, and Moreno's expulsion threat backfires as many students declare Rebel too. The movement becomes unstoppable as the community embraces honesty and courage. The school realizes music and truth can transform their world.

In a gesture of solidarity, Tara passes the crown to Stacy, ending the rivalry. Gavin honors Tara with a heartfelt performance, closing the night with a dance between them. The night culminates in a school-wide affirmation that turns Radio Rebel into a shared, empowering moment.
