The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing heartthrobs from Ohio: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. With their tight harmonies and spectacular choreography, the Altar Boyz delight their audience. Performing a full set, including their signature hits "Rhythm In Me," "The Calling" and "I Believe," the Boyz question their loyalty to each other and ask whether or not faith is really holding them together. In the end, they deliver a message of unity: "there is no star as bright as its constellation, no harmony in a single voice."
