What's the worst thing that can happen to a guy his first day of senior year? Hint: it involves involuntary blood flow and an 80-year-old school librarian. That's all we can share right now but the end result is so painful and humiliating that poor Dizzy Harrison (DJ Qualls) gets labeled untouchable for life by his entire school. No one can help him. Not his clueless dad, Bear Harrison (who just got new orthodontia, by the way), nor his fellow outcasts and bandmates Nora, Glen and Kirk. When an incompetent guidance counselor overmedicates him for misdiagnosed Tourette's Syndrome, Diz gets into a fight with an army of nuns and tossed into jail. There he gets turned around, rather, re-inspired. Inmate Luther (Eddie Griffin) counsels Diz on how to re-invent himself at the rival high school. Diz re-names himself Gil Harris and, with the help of Luther's prison know-how, becomes the most feared and respected man at Highland High before lunch. When Diz's chief tormentor at his old school, a football thug named Barclay, also enrolls at Highland, Diz's secret identity dangles by a thread.
