Napoleon doesn't have much going for him. He's sixteen, awkward, bullied, and his grandmother broke her coccyx. Enter: Deb, Pedro, and Napoleon's uncle, Rico. Deb and Pedro become Napoleon's friends, and Rico looks after Napoleon while Napoleon's grandmother recovers. While babysitting, Rico drags Napoleon's brother Kip into a get-rich-quick scheme.
Pedro decides to run for class president, pitting him against one of the most popular people in school. He and Napoleon campaign, but are not, shall we say, politically gifted.
But at least Napoleon can dance!
