When someone wearing the school-mascot costume starts vandalizing property, a suspected Lawrence relies on his new misfit friend to help clear his name. Funny and likable, Lawrence's stoner persona conceals hidden depths and insecurities due to distant parents, past bullies, and uncertainty about his place in the world.
