This is a story of three teenage boys. They’re going to the school dance. They’re on a mission. But they are losers.
First, there’s Matt. He’s 15, although he doesn’t look it. Then there’s Luke, also 15. Luke likes dancing. And for a loser, he’s pretty good at it. Neither Matt nor Luke has a girlfriend (if you hadn’t already guessed).
Then, there’s Jonathon. Even though he’s taller, he’s only 14. He’s excited about the dance – as long as he doesn’t run into Derek Sturgess, who threatened him with certain death if he appeared tonight.
These three are the awkward kids. The invisible teens. Fuelled by a diet of raging hormones and mie goreng noodles, they exist in a misfit realm, navigating complex waters with little success.
A highly personal work that, just like its central protagonists, is funny, sad, scary, weird, really stupid, endearing and repulsive.
