Plot: Born on the trashy side of the Oakland tracks, 16-year-old Nick Twisp hates his name almost as much as his life. Everyone he knows, including his divorced parents, gets more action than he does, but his luck changes when he meets junior femme fatale Sheeni during a trailer-park vacation. She may have overprotective parents and a boyfriend back at school, but she also likes Jean-Paul Belmondo movies, Serge Gainsbourg records--and Nick. There's just one hitch--she prefers bad boys, so Nick creates cynical, cigarette-smoking alter ego François Dillinger to win her heart. Little does Nick know he's playing with fire--literally--since François gives him license to set his pent-up inhibitions free.
