Overview

Alvin Johnson is smart, nerdy, and completely invisible to the popular crowd at his high school. When a chance encounter leaves cheerleader Paris Morgan needing a repair favor, Alvin sees an opportunity: he will fix her car if she spends two weeks pretending to be his girlfriend. The arrangement works better than expected, launching him into social stardom, but the higher Alvin climbs, the further he drifts from the person he actually is, and from the people who always liked him anyway.
