In the peaceful neighbourhood of Cherry View Lane, there's a debacle in number 59. Freddy Farkle, a lanky, fatuous chat, is a mess. From the 6am shrill of his alarm clock, to his tardy arrival at work, dressed in no more that roller-skates and a ballet skirt, Freddy continues to go about his usual messy daily routine. After a harsh warning from his strict boss, the penny finally drops. Freddy realises that if he continues with this lack of organisation he could lose everything. Waking up to the reality call, he attempts to stride into an unfamiliar world of punctuality and cleanliness. Everything finally falls into place, but Freddy soon discovers that arriving on time doesn't quite turn out as he planned.
