In a hilarious tale of high school isolation and individualism, Finster, a nerdy comic shop employee and dreamer, tries to survive the danger-filled halls of academe while courting the most popular girl in school. But more comfortable in an imaginary world of super heroes and villains, the socially inept Fanboy finds himself the recipient of agonizing adolescent abuse. Luckily, with a little help from his comic book heroes, Finster survives his travails and ends up with the girl of his reality.
