Lennie Fling has always been good at everything. But when it comes to music, he only falls flat. So when the school's music recital is announced, Lennie must find a way to play a tune. With a little help from his groovy neighbor who dances to her own beat, Lennie learns that musical expression can take on many unexpected forms.
