A high-spirited coming-of-age comedy about teenage misfits reclaiming power through an underground school newspaper, balancing irreverent humor with genuine warmth for its outsider characters.

Eddie "Gonzo" Gilman is starting a revolution. When the wild-eyed rebel journalist is ousted from his prep school's newspaper by its über-popular editor, Eddie fronts an underground movement to give a voice to all the misfits, outcasts, and nerds. Soon the power of the press is in Eddie's hands... but will he use it wisely?
