Rodney Rathbone tries to live up to his reputation as a reluctant hero when he earns a spot on his school football team--along with his arch-nemesis--while trying to regain his girlfriend Jessica's trust and survive his mother's new job as the restaurant reviewer for a local paper.

Stuck at Camp Wy-Mee, cowardly Rodney Rathbone is forced to try to make friends and finds himself once again in the unlikely roll of camp hero.

Rodney moves to Ohio where a bully singles him out, but when a stray baseball knocks the bully out just as he is about to beat Rodney up, Rodney gets a reputation as a tough guy.
