Andy Nichol é um garoto de 12 anos, que como a maioria da sua idade, tenta evitar confusão e motivos para ser ridicularizado e punido pelos colegas da escola. Adorado pelos alunos, o Sr. Simon, interpretado por Harris, coloca Andy e Stanley como dupla em um projeto da escola. Stanley é perseguido por ser diferente, ruivo, com “a cabeça muito grande para seu corpo e as orelhas muito grande para sua cabeça”. Nessa relação, Andy e Stanley aprenderão um sobre o outro, e o Sr. Simon terá que enfrentar uma situação conflitante envolvendo preconceitos e intolerância.

A coming-of-age story that follows 12-year-old Andy Nichol (Chase Ellison), a bright student who, like most kids his age, will do anything to avoid conflict for fear of suffering overwhelming ridicule and punishment from his junior high school peers. Everyone's favorite teacher, Mr. Simon (Ed Harris), pairs Andy with the school's biggest outcast and social pariah, Stanley, aka "Big G" (Alexander Walters) on a critical term project. Sporting thick orange hair, a head too big for his body and ears too big for his head, "Big G" has been the object of ridicule since grade school. Before long, Andy will learn that there was truly a method behind Mr. Simon's madness as to why he teamed these two up. As the story unfolds, Mr. Simon finds himself the target of a malicious rumor after Principal Kelner (Amy Madigan) suspends a school bully for brutally beating up a female classmate who he thinks has "cooties." When Andy watches "Big G" fearlessly confront the school bully...
