David Gold (Pat Mills), 36, a pathologically immature former child actor, has never been able to get over high school. Recently diagnosed with skin cancer, unemployed and with nothing left to lose, he fakes his resume and gets a job as a high school guidance counselor. Quickly winning over the students at Grusin High with his laid-back attitude and similar interests, he befriends Jabrielle (Zahra Bentham), a teenaged outcast, and soon learns that sometimes you can go too far, especially when it comes to committing a ridiculous crime.
