The crew of the USS Enterprise indulges in a little song and dance on a mission that seems like a humorous and light-hearted musical at first, but quickly grows into a high-stakes mission over the fate of Starfleet.

By the time the final song has been sung, several members of the crew walk away with a better understanding of themselves -- albeit not all in the happiest of ways.
