Synopsis

Ari is… well, he’s a little different from the other kids at school. He’s not hip, he’s not cool, he’s not sporty and he’s far from co-ordinated. He does have a crush on the beautiful Jess, so that’s pretty normal, but let’s face it: Ari is kind of a misfit. But after a series of attempts to change himself into someone else, Ari finds that the best way to gain the respect of your peers is to let your freak flag fly.
