A barbershop quartet that's sung together for nearly thirty years suddenly loses their lead singer when he drops dead at a regional competition, belting out a heart-stopping high B-flat in front of the judges. But he holds his note until the end of the song, and the quartet wins! Now, the three surviving members must put an end to their bickering and find a replacement in time for the Nationals. During a phone call, they hear a beautiful lead voice who could be their salvation - but when he shows up, he's a young Indian Sikh wearing a turban. And the quartet's bass singer is Archie Bunker. It's a wonderful comedy with music about the journey all four have to take to find their voice together.
