Take Winona Spellman, a very unique creature who has a love for art, dresses in vintage clothes from the 90's and talks to about 3 kids at her high school. Then take Charles Johnson, the well rounded athlete and student body president, and the most popular boy at Amherst High School. They've been friends since they were four, but one of them isn't too keen on staying in the friend zone. As soon as things start to look up for this young potential couple something big happens. The Truth About Charlie tells the story of teenage angst in a different way, and gives a whole new meaning to living each moment like it's your last.
