One major life change should be the limit for any kid.
               ~ Rocky's theory

About to transition from middle school to high school, Rocky is shocked when his mother announces her intention to marry Ted, a devious man with a devil's beard, ominous eyebrows in constant motion, and black, beady eyes.

Rocky suffers a series of strange accidents and is convinced that Ted is using evil powers against him. When Ted arranges to work at Rocky's summer program, Rocky plots with his girlfriend, Olive, to expose Ted in an epic showdown to stop the marriage.

But Rocky's plans are halted when he's accused of stealing at his summer program and he suspects Ted is framing him. Scared no one will believe him, Rocky runs into the woods where he encounters a grungy, old hermit with a tragic life story who urges Rocky to return and prove his innocence.

Rocky must reclaim his own reputation, before he can prosecute his case against Ted.
