Fifteen-year-old Tripp Campbell wins a radio contest to have dinner with his favorite rock band, Iron Weasel -- a trio of rock-star misfits whose stars have fallen so far that their nationwide tour only had three gigs.

Even though the band mates initially scoff at the idea of having a kid in the band for fear of losing their cool, edgy appeal, they quickly reconsider when they realize they can't even afford their own housing and Tripp offers to let them move into his house with his divorced mom, Beth. In their own wacky way, the band will try to mentor Tripp through his high school years with the goal of turning him into a bona fide rock star in the process.
