In Bust a Move, Derek was set on proving he was the best dancer at the school disco.
In Going Viral, Derek is determined to prove he’s an internet star AND prove he is more of an internet star then his nemesis Carmichael Cruz.
Set against the backdrop of the upcoming garlic festival, Derek has only a couple of days to create a video that goes more viral than Cruz’s does.
But making funny or cute or dramatic things happen on camera isn’t as easy as he thought it would be. And the garlic festival, and the whole town’s involvement in it, keep getting in the way of Derek and his masterpiece video.
Can Derek go viral in time?

The only question that remains is… what will Derek do next?
