James, Carlos, Logan and Kendall get the opportunity of a lifetime when they are asked to head to Los Angeles and form a singing group. Once they are in Los Angeles, they must figure out a way to make Gustavo Rocque and Rocque Records happy in order to become a singing sensation.

The boys must impress a well-known blogger, Deke whose words can control their career. They are going to be spending a "Day with Deke" very soon, so Gustavo hires people to train the boys to have a good "Day with Deke". When the interview starts, 5 minutes later, Deke writes a bad review, and the boys must figure out how to change his mind about them for a good review before he posts it through a series of traps. Meanwhile, Gustavo gets a "Scuttlebutter" account and sends out a Scutbut that he hate Brussels, the capital of Belgium. (He meant to type that he hates Brussel Sprouts)

In the eye of their first album release, Griffin, the head of the record label, cancels the album, tour, and concert, forcing them to return to Minnesota, which threatens to break up their life-long friendships. James gets mad and he's got 3 record deal, and joins Hawk, Gustavo's Arch-Rival. Gustavo has to pay back to Griffin $2,000,000 to get back Big Time Rush, and to get them to come back and to finally perform concert. They come back to the LA, and they cannot stay in the Palmwoods again, so they all start living in the Rocque Records "RocqueWoods". James does not want to come back to Big Time Rush so they open an audition for the new James, but they can find anyone and James comes back and they prepare for the concert

The boys dislike Griffin's new line of Big Time Rush merchandise and attempt to sabotage his sales plan, but they wind up making matters worse. Meanwhile, Katie accidentally destroys her mother's Palm Woods robe and buys a replacement robe from Bitters, only that the robe she was sold doesn't include a belt, and Bitters refuses any refunds or returns so she attempts to get her money's worth by getting the belt the robe was supposed to have.
