Subscribe FreeThrilled to be shedding their former junior-high geek status, best friends Wade (Hartley) and Ryan (Gentile) are looking forward to donning a new persona in high school. When the friends arrive on their first day of school to find Filkins (Frost), the school bully, stuffing a diminutive fellow freshman in a locker, Wade speaks up against the bully, sealing his fate as the target of hazing and harassment. Wade and Ryan are sure the only way out of the daily torture of being picked on by Filkins and his buddy Ronnie (Peck) is to hire a bodyguard for protection. Limited funds lead the boys to find a cut-rate solution to their problems in local homeless Vet, Drillbit Taylor (Wilson). With the assistance of the hired help, the nerdy group of friends take on the school's bullies. (Stacey Pendry)
