Tucker, a quiet kid who likes to fly under the radar, decides to enter a comic book contest in hopes of winning a reward to help his struggling mother make ends meet. Tucker's creation of his superhero (Beanboy) intertwines with his own confrontations with the school bully. Sketches and comic book excerpts appear intermittently in this entertaining and inspiring story.
