Drowning in dos and donts, Rafe and his scheming best friend Leo hatch a plan to break every rule in the schools Code of Conduct. As their battle with Principal Dwight explodes into chaos, Rafe struggles to hide his misbehavior from Jeanne, the straight-A, overachieving girl of his dreams. At home, his mothers boyfriend — a moochy, jack-of-no-trades named Bear — threatens to become his stepfather.
