At school, Jordin (Bonilla) is a cocky but charming Latino firebrand; at home he is a doting grandson who cant seem to please his perpetually cranky father. On the day hes suspended for insulting a teacher, Jordin meets Felipa (Diaz-Carranza), a bookish, no-nonsense New York girl who sees past the swaggering facade. The two immediately embark on an unlikely friendship that inspires Jordin to find out who he really is.
