A lighthearted, absurdist comedy about two nerdy teenagers whose computer-generated dream woman helps them gain confidence and friendship through increasingly ridiculous and whimsical situations.

Two unpopular teenagers, Gary and Wyatt, fail at all attempts to be accepted by their peers. Their desperation to be liked leads them to "create" a woman via their computer. Their living and breathing creation is a gorgeous woman, Lisa, whose purpose is to boost their confidence level by putting them into situations which require Gary and Wyatt to act like men.
