Michael Pomerantz, or Storky as he is begrudgingly known by his classmates, is the smart sensitive type. Not exactly the type that gets all the girls in high school. Even his dad, who recently divorced his mom, doesn’t want to hang out with him. His popular older sister Amanda always has dates, and the best Storky can do is give his crush, Gina, homework tips. He has to lose his rep as the sensitive guy if he is ever going to get a girlfriend. Or does he? After meeting Duke, a cool old guy at the retirement home his mom volunteers at, Storky gains some confidence to just be himself and realizes that its other peoples loss, (including his aloof dads) if they don’t get to know him.
