Keith Nelson, an artsy high school outcast, tries to land a date with popular girl Amanda Jones with some help from his tomboy best friend, Watts. However, Watts realizes she likes Keith as more than just a friend and tries to convince him to stop pursuing Amanda. Matters are further complicated when Keith's invitation draws the ire of Amanda's rich yet snobby ex-boyfriend, Hardy Jenns, who makes plans to get even.
Keith struggles to navigate the painful gap between his crush on a popular girl and the quiet devotion of his tomboy best friend. This eighties gem finds its soul in the bittersweet friction of unrequited love and the messy reality of teenage social hierarchies.
