Nick is a wise-cracking fifth grader who likes to give special nicknames to his posse of friends and ride bikes with his best pal, Diego. But life takes a turn when he finds himself passed out on his classroom floor, looking straight up at the nose hairs of his teacher. Not a pretty sight. Suddenly, worrying about landing a part in the class production of Romeo and Juliet and getting annoyed with his classmate, Molly Cooper, are no longer his biggest concerns. Instead, his focus becomes survival. Nick's skateboard-riding doctor and his rambunctious pals try to keep him laughing as he faces down a life-threatening kidney disease. The question is...will Nick get a kidney in time to save his life?
