A reinvention of the original Oscar-winning hit film, 'Fame' follows a talented group of dancers, singers, actors and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts, a diverse, creative powerhouse where students from all walks of life are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame -- the kind that comes only from talent, dedication and hard work.

In an incredibly competitive atmosphere, plagued by self-doubt, each student's passion will be put to the test. In addition to their artistic goals, they have to deal with everything else that goes along with high school: a tumultuous time full of schoolwork, deep friendships, budding romance and self-discovery.

As students strive for their moment in the spotlight, they'll discover who among them has the innate talent and necessary discipline to succeed. With the love and support of their friends and fellow artists, they'll find out who among them will achieve fame.
