Timothy Dimmick is a geeky young kid from Marblehead, Massachusetts who is trying to survive his senior year of high school and make good on a promise to his late father: become a world-class ninja and secure his legacy as the “Bruce Lee of New England.” But the path he takes is littered with stumbling blocks. His mother’s too busy shopping to be a loving parent, his sister lives to get him into trouble, and his best friend is a high-school dropout who is writing the Great American Screenplay from the point of view of a fetus. As he searches for meaning in all the wrong places--whether it’s composing a New Year’s Eve top-ten list or debating the real reason why ninjas never sweat--Tim will go to any lengths to contact his father, including a phone call to a psychic hotline and a séance conducted by a Turkish exchange student. Factor in Uncle Jack’s religious views, a rap loving therapist, and an Asian cyber-girlfriend, and Tim’s future doesn’t look promising.
