Not every kid starts high school in sophomore year. Then again, not every kid is a scrawny gay nerd named Rocky Apollo living in Bum Ass Nowhere, USA. Not every kid has to put up with constant bullying from a childhood friend. As if that weren't enough, Rocky has caught the attention of the volatile school bully, who makes him an offer he can't refuse. Help him pass his classes, and he'll teach Rocky to fight.
