Summary

Told from two viewpoints, high school seniors Haley, who had a public breakdown, and shy Lewis, long-time member of the TV Production class, find that filming documentaries about their classmates' hidden talents reveals their own aspirationsHayley Mills does not welcome the changes that senior year brings. She wants everyone to forget about her very public breakdown and remember her as the overachiever she once was. When she is forced into TV Production class with all the slackers like Lewis Holbrook, the two are partnered up. After a summer spent binging 80s movies, Lewis is ready to upgrade from the role of self-described fat, funny sidekick to leading man of his own life-- including getting the girl. As they start making mini documentaries about their classmates' hidden talents, Hayley is getting attention for something other than her breakdown, and Lewis isn't just a background character anymore. What happens when who you've become isn't who you really are? -- adapted from jacket
