Synopsis

A coming-of-age comedy that plumbs the complexities of companionship and ambition. Erwin is a 12-year-old girl genius completely out of sorts as the youngest student in high school. She’s faced with only one problem she can’t solve: Social isolation. With fellow outcast and chemistry guru Winston, the duo team up to invent a chemical that will change the high school hierarchy forever.
