"Love yourself before others." Easier said than done, right? A young singer-songwriter who miraculously gets another shot at the big time knows the struggle all too well. He and the many people who surround him embark on a journey of simultaneously loving each other and themselves for their quirks, oddities, and otherwise unconventional attributes. For Beau, our singer-songwriter, his journey begins when he moves across the country and meets the charmingly self-centered, romantically impulsive, shaggy-haired brunette we know as James Diamond.

Olive Pasqualina is used to new people coming to the Palm Woods and leaving within a few weeks. In her eyes, there's no point in getting invested in any of the kids who move in. At least until Big Time Rush - a boy band from St. Paul, Minnesota moves into apartment 2J, and Olive finds herself being drawn to Logan Mitchell, the brainiac of the band. But Olive's still dealing with the trouble she got into the summer before BTR's arrival, and Logan is stuck between his feelings for Olive and his feelings for Camille. It's like falling in love all over again for the two of them, as confusing as that can be.

After taking her chances at a nationwide talent competition, songwriter Roxanne Somerset finds herself moving across the country to sunny Los Angeles, California with four singing strangers to help assist the brand-new boy band Big Time Rush. Unexpectedly thrown into the glamorous L.A. music-pop scene, the five must work together to navigate their new home, new relationships, and find out just what it takes to make it big time.

After accidentally mistyping the link to a YouTube video while searching for a history documentary online, Daisy-Mae Denton stumbles across the page of cover artist Kendall Knight and finds herself captivated by his effortless talent and unforgettable voice. Commenting on one of his videos leads her down a path to a whole new technological world she has no idea how to navigate, making the friendship she so desperately wishes to cultivate seem nearly impossible. Online friends shouldn't be as hard to make as real ones, she decides, and the blooming feeling in her chest, whenever her computer chimes with a new message notification, is perfectly normal. Lucky for her, Kendall finds the small essay in the middle of his comment section strange, but endearing, even if the person who wrote it speaks as though they're from a different time. A series of bad luck had left him considering putting his guitar down altogether before he received a message from a charming stranger, who inspires him to continue chasing his dream.
