Summary:

America can't seem to get enough of the wildly popular television singing contest American Dreamz, which stars a self-aggrandizing and self-loathing host who is ever on the lookout for the next insta-celebrity. His latest crop of hopefuls includes a conniving steel magnolia with a devoted, dopey veteran boyfriend and a recent immigrant who just happens to be a bumbling, show tune singing, would-be terrorist awaiting activation. When both make it to the final round of Dreamz--in which the President himself is to be one of the judges--the stage is set for a show the nation will never forget.
