Plot: Tara Adams (Debby Ryan) is a shy seventeen-year old senior at Lincoln Bay High School who dreads speaking to anyone in the school hallways or getting called on in class. But in the privacy of her bedroom, she rocks out as a podcast DJ named "Radio Rebel." Her alter ego gives inspirational messages to her fellow high school students and in turn they become her prot?g?es. Her stepfather, Rob (Martin Cummins), runs SLAM FM, Seattle?s hottest FM radio station. When he finds out that Tara is Radio Rebel while listening to one of her podcasts (at the request of DJ Cami Q (Mercedes de la Zerda)), he decides to let Tara fill in for the open DJ slot at SLAM FM. Keeping her Radio Rebel alter ego a secret, Tara becomes an instant hit because her radio show encourages her classmates to be themselves. She has fun; on one occasion, she hosts a dance party during lunch at her high school where Principal Moreno (Nancy Robertson) has banned her students from listening to Radio Rebel's podcast. However, the principal cannot order DJ Cami Q to leave the campus, since she parked her car on public property (the street) and has the necessary permit. Angrily, Principal Moreno decides to cancel the prom until Radio Rebel reveals her true self. Her fellow students become disillusioned with Radio Rebel and call in her radio show to say that she crushed their dreams. Scared that she disappointed her listeners, Tara and SLAM FM decide to throw the Lincoln Bay students a MORP (PROM spelled backwards). The students nominate and select Radio Rebel for MORP queen and, despite that Principal Moreno will expel her, Tara goes onstage to accept the honor. In order to protect Tara, her best friend Audrey shouts, "I'm Radio Rebel!" Tara's love interest Gavin follows suit and eventually all students continue shouting that they are Radio Rebel until Principal Moreno concedes defeat and storms off. Tara, brimming with confidence now that she has been accepted by the student body, gives her crown to Stacy, a student who has been harassing her throughout the movie and who had wanted badly to be Prom Queen. Previously anti-Radio Rebel, Stacy declares, "I'm Radio Rebel!? The movie concludes with Tara dancing the night away with Gavin, both finally allowed to be themselves.
