Rehearsals begin for two choirs - one from Kaitaia and one from New York City - as they embark on a joyful, life-changing journey to the 2024 World Choir Games, which was held in Aotearoa.

With the competition just weeks away, the gruelling rehearsal schedule is taking a toll. Conductor Noah needs to earn his choir's trust. Toronge and Sefa use music to mourn a friend.

After an 18-hour flight, a cultural experience inspires the Young People's Chorus of New York City. At the Opening Ceremony, both choirs lose themselves in the joy of the occasion.
