"A promotional video, showcasing what we do and who we are here at Free State High School."

After questioning their sense of self-identification compared to other Courts, the 2013 Homecoming candidates decide it's time to fulfill a well-rounded high school experience. Agreeing that television best captures the spirit of high school, they decide to pitch a sitcom to their FSTV producers in Firebird Productions.

When Free State High School gets invaded by the evil USD497's League of Ominous Super Evil, The Phoenix (Freddie the Firebird's shadowy superhero alter-ego) steps in and recruits the 2013 Prom Candidates to suit up as the Firebird Action Hero Response Team (F.A.H.R.T.). Once assembled, our newly-formed heroes find themselves face-to-face with evil school board villains disguised as Free State faculty, fighting them off and trying to save the day before it's too late.
