Summaries

A comedy about a group of teens taking driver's ed over the summer.

A roster of students taking a summer-school driver's ed course includes: Riko, a cocky guy; Chad, a guy from a privileged background who's terrified to get behind the wheel; Vanessa, whose overprotective mom wouldn't allow her to take the course so she signed up behind her back; and Maria, a spoiled foreign student. The principal wants the students to pass so he tells the instructor, who's still not over his wife leaving and is not exactly up to the task, that it's important for the students to pass so he brought in a special instructor who's very tough. The principal also tells one of his teachers to let Maslanski, the school football star, pass the test he failed so that he can concentrate on driver's ed. But the teacher, seeing this as an opportunity to expose the principal for not doing his job--thus paving the way for him to be the new principal, makes Maslanski take a make-up test.[email protected]
