A quirky coming-of-age comedy about a misfit learning to navigate conformity, built on warmth, humor, and the tension between individuality and belonging.

Placid Lake has always been different. As an odd fish in a sea of mediocrity, his brilliant ideas are bound to get him into more trouble than success. So when he finds himself flying off the school roof and breaking every bone in his body on graduation night, Placid decides to make a bid for the elusive normal life. To his parents' horror, he gets a normal job.
