A prank by local bullies that resulted in a boy’s death triggers this movie into action. The victim’s friends/ survivor of the horribly screwed up prank then have to face the harsh reality of the mortal and growing up world where sometimes, even your parents can be wrong. Jacob Carges (Conor Donovan), the victim’s less popular with a huge purplish birthmark that covers half of his face decides to seek revenge when he realizes he cannot depends on his parents. The only surviving victim of the accident, overweight Leonard Fisher (Jesse Camacho) loses his sense of taste and smell then begins to exercise actively despite his similar obese family’s objection meanwhile their female friend’s Malee Chung (Zoe Weisenbaum), a quietly disturbed half Asian girl who is raised by a single working mother, copes with the tragedy by pathetically seducing an older guy (a patient of her therapist mother).
