Phil is a shy, introverted teenager, with a fairly cynical outlook on everything and everyone. With his parents taking on new jobs, the Lester family are forced to move away from their home town and Phil to be thrown into a completely new environment: boarding school. Dan Howell, having attended this school for quite some time, enjoys being one in the comfort of his previously empty room and is thrown off when he is forced to share his dorm with the shy new student, Phil. How will events turn out?
