When CJ Tieton's parents died, it effected him greatly.
In fact, it left him with a type of depression called Dysthymia.  Now he's just trying to survive the last year of high school in one piece.
But after a sleazy move pulled by his cousin, he's left a little heart broken.

But what happens when he meets quirky, college drop-out, Mai?

Bikers will get angered, wigs will be stolen, potatoes will fly, and inner drag queens will surface.

But will she be able to make him laugh again? Side effects and all?
