When Hannah Montana shows signs of forgetting her roots as Miley Stewart, her father Robbie Ray puts his foot down. Miley has always strived to live a relatively normal teenage life, but when late stage entrances, exclusive shopping trips that end in brawling catfights, and ditching friends and family in favor of Hannah appearances become commonplace, Robbie Ray gives her a dose of hometown reality at her grandma's in Crowley Corners, Tenn. Unfortunately, she's followed by British reporter, Oswald. Miley is furious at being tricked into staying at her grandma's, but her bad attitude eventually gives way to resignation. She begins to reconnect with her family. As the days progress, Miley begins to understand her self-absorption. She finds herself attracted to Travis, an old elementary friend and is drawn into her grandma's fight against the commercialization of Crowley Corners. A boastful impulse finds Miley in charge of bringing Hannah Montana to town for a benefit concert. Miley's worlds collide onstage and she reveals her true identity.
