Four hockey players from Minnesota, Kendall Knight (Kendall Schmidt), James Diamond (James Maslow), Carlos Garcia (Carlos Pena, Jr.) and Logan Mitchell (Logan Henderson), learn that record producer Gustavo (Stephen Kramer Glickman) is conducting a talent search, and go to audition. Kendall gets mad at Gustavo for turning James down, and sings "the giant turd song" to him. Gustavo is impressed with Kendall's fiery personality and offers to bring him to Los Angeles, but Kendall will not go without the other three. Gustavo agrees to this, but the record label CEO gives him only three days to turn the boys, who are terrible at dancing, singing, and cooperating, into a successful band. The boys goof off and get fired, but then go back, work hard, and please CEO Griffin with a performance of "Big Time Rush". Griffin gives them three months to produce a demo CD. The journey begins...

The boys do whatever is necessary to take down the "School of Rocque" and go to the Palm Woods school. Mrs. Knight fails in an attempt to home-school Katie, so she tries, with the help of Mr. Bitters, to get Katie to act in a commercial so that she can be admitted to the Palm Woods school.

Griffin thinks that the band needs a "bad boy" presence to broaden their appeal, and pairs them with "Wayne Wayne", an Eminem parody who tries to inject dissension and tension into the group. Gustavo and the guys join together to get him booted out of the band. After Kendall defeats him in a "bad boy" contest, Wayne Wayne is teamed with a parody version of The Wiggles. Mrs. Knight becomes afraid of the Palm Woods handyman, who she believes is an axe maniac.
