David has a huge, life-ruining, crush on Alyssa Harvard (who is only about one billion times out of his league). As if that wasn't enough of a problem, her parents want her to date a "gentleman" (a trait which composes about 1% of David's DNA). Being assisted by a random guy he literally just met (like seriously, where did this Ricky guy come from?), and all the while being hindered by his ridiculous friends, family drama that refuses to stay buried, and the chaos that is life in general... the chances of David getting the girl seem slim to none. But the day that Ricky Santos fails at something, is the day that pigs sprout wings and fly, so whether the world likes it or not... David is GETTING that date. David's life is about to get a whole lot classier. (Prepare yourself for mayhem.)
