A student named Julian is struggling in his class and needs to get an A on a group presentation to avoid summer school. He tries to get Nick, a nerd, to be his partner and do all the work for him. Julian agrees to go to Nick's house to work on the project, but instead spends the night playing video games while Nick does all the work. The next day, Nick is exhausted, and their presentation is a disaster. Julian doesn't know any of the material and gets an F on the project. As a result, Julian gets in trouble with his mom, who takes away his Xbox and forces him to go to summer school. To make matters worse, his mom takes away his Lakers game tickets and gives them to Nick, who gets to go to the game with a girl named Jessica.
