Maggie Cooper thinks it would be really cool if her son Lloyd were gay. So cool, in fact, that she outs him to the entire school.

A girl from New York attends a college in Atlanta to join their once-famous marching band.

College student Beca knows she does not want to be part of a clique, but that's exactly where she finds herself after arriving at her new school.

She takes the women of the group out of their comfort zone of traditional arrangements and into a world of amazing harmonic combinations in a fight to the top of college music competitions.
