Unpopular Lily (Loren Horsley) has a crush on geeky Jarrod (Jermaine Clement), but he pays no attention to her–until Lily crashes Jarrod's costume party. Jarrod is dressed as a mighty eagle, and Lily's costume is that of a shark. She impresses Jarrod with her video game skills, and they become an odd couple of sorts. Lily offers to drive Jarrod to his home town where he plans to beat up the bully (David Fane) who had made his life miserable in school. Once there, Lily finds that Jarrod is not the sort of guy she thought he was, and his dysfunctional family can only be described as weird. But, despite all, Lily remains dedicated to Jarrod.
