Period 8. An hour a day. You can hang out. You can eat your lunch. You can talk. Or listen. Or neither. Or both. Nothing is off-limits. The only rule is that you keep it real; that you tell the truth. Heller High senior Paul Baum—aka Paulie Bomb—tells the truth. Not the ""Wow, that's an ugly sweater"" variety of truth, but the other kind. The truth that matters. It might be hard. It often hurts. But Paulie doesn't know how notto tell it. When he tells his girlfriend Hannah the life-altering, messed-up, awful truth, his life falls apart. The truth can get complicated, fast.
