Ash Orman has almost everything going for him, well that is except for the fact that his parents named him Ashlie, but embarrassing names aside Ash has everything he needs, a stable friend group, a good chance at graduating early (so long as he can get his damn math grade up), a loving and accepting family, he's set. Or so he thinks. But when sophomore year of highschool comes around, throwing a peculiarly named new boy and a plethora of problems Ash's way, he is reminded that even the most concrete of plans can go south, especially when you're 15.
