Plot

Terri Fletcher is the main character, loves to sing. Her older brother, Paul is her inspiration and practically her best friend. Her father, though supportive, believes there are more important things in life than singing. Terri had bought for her brother tickets for both of them to see the Canadian band Three Days Grace in concert one night, but Paul is grounded and cannot go. Terri insisted that they should have one last night of fun before Paul goes to college, and they sneak out. On the way back, as Paul is driving them home, they are involved in a major car crash which leaves Terri injured and Paul dead. Throughout the whole film, Terri feels guilty because she thinks it was her fault he died. In an enormous state of sadness and grief because of her guilt, she gives up her scholarship and her dream of going to a popular Los Angeles music school. Johnny Maglone (Nick Wald) shows the true meaning of music in the opening sequence of the film where he plays "Amazing Grace" on the recorder in perfect rhythm.

Terri Fletcher (Hilary Duff) performs "Jericho" in Raise Your Voice

But later, when she starts to think that Paul would have wanted her to go (he was the one who made her admissions tape), she asks her father, who says "Absolutely not!" Her mother decides otherwise, wanting the best for her only child remaining, and sends Terri off to go on vacation with her Aunt Nina. At least that's what they tell her father; instead, she goes to L.A. to achieve her dreams. While going to Bristol-Hillman Conservatory, Terri experiences difficulty fitting in and begins to become fond of fellow student Jay Corgan, an English boy who has a mutual crush on her. The two eventually begin to date, causing Jay's ex-girlfriend, Robin to become jealous. She tries to win Jay back by kissing him, and the two are discovered by Terri who is upset. Both then have difficulty trying to finish the song they were writing. After Jay gets drunk over Terri, the two sort things out, and decide to continue writing the song together. In the end, Terri overcomes her grief, singing a farewell to her brother in "Someone's Watching over Me", a song she composes with Jay. However, Denise is the winner of the scholarship. As the end credits roll, Terri sings "Jericho".
