Eighth-grade best friends Marco and Stephen are always up for challenging missions. Openly gay Marco devises a plan to crash the high school prom so he can declare his love for exchange student Benji; Stephen is dedicated to--and under the thumb of--self-centered Marco. Told from Stephen's point of view, the story humorously skims issues of bullying, tolerance, and friendship.
