Lindsay Weir is a high school student in a small Michigan town in 1980. When she starts hanging with a group of burn-outs known as the freaks, everyone who knew and loved the shy, brainy Lindsay has a conniption. Meanwhile, Lindsay's brother Sam, a freshman geek, gets picked on by a bully named Alan who crushes his lunch, then pummels him in dodgeball. Sam's friends Neal and Bill agree to help him kick Alan's butt. They end up in a ridiculous fist-fight while Sam is asking his dream girl Cindy to the homecoming dance. In a compassionate gesture, Lindsay asks a retarded kid to the dance. When her good deed backfires, Lindsay's angst over the unfairness of high school can only be cured by a healthy dose of Styx's Come Sail Away and the unlikely sight of her brother dancing with a girl.
