Baxter follows Baxter McNab and his friends on their journey through the unique, high-energy world that is Northern Star School of the Arts. At this school where the students will do anything they can to stand out, the stress of a math test is nothing compared to that dance solo, or music recital, or monologue, or - you get the idea. Though his irreverent style might rub some teachers the wrong way, Baxter knows that great friends are the key to survival, and that Northern Star is a crazy amazing way to spend high school. Think Glee meets Fame for kids!
