The purpose of birth is to die so why bother putting in any effort in life? A young doodling savant adopts this philosophy and decides, in his senior year of high school not to do homework. Freddy Highmore (George) appears as a semi-goth loner reading novels at the lunch table. We know he is interested in a popular girl Sally, charmingly played by Emma Roberts. She invites him to her table at lunchtime and asks to be friends. Dustin (Michael Angarano) a feckless established artist plays an entirely charming twist is George's artistic and romantic life. The story develops episodically into a series of events and observations.
George experiences a series of adventures put upon him which give him a social life and a new reason to avoid his parents (Rita Wilson, Sam Rockwell.) Will friendship turn to love? Will George ever progress from drawing to painting? Will he graduate high school? Through his adventures answers will come but not always to his satisfaction.
