Dwayne's goal is simple. He wants to survive year nine at school. That is not as easy as it sounds because he is a constant target of bullies. He normally hides from everyone at school when he is not being hit with flying wads of paper in a classroom.
Dwayne lives in a weird world. His parents are separated, his brother refuses to talk, he is the smallest kid in his class and worst of all his mother starts to date his Science teacher.
Dwayne learns how to live in this weird world, although some days are harder than others.
