A teen musical comedy. The last thing 17-year-old Amy wants to do on a Thursday afternoon is babysit Adam, a bratty 8 year old who has forsaken his homework to torment his babysitter. When Amy gets a phone call from her friend, Rachel, Adam decides to eavesdrop on the conversation. As Amy's complaints to Rachel about school, friendships and boys steadily escalate in more and more dramatic, over the top language, so does Adam's anxiety, as he completely misinterprets Amy's rants, taking her exaggerations literally. When the phone call comes to an end, Amy exits the room and leaves her cell phone behind Assuming the very worst, Adam decides to call her friends because ' Amy's friends are grownups; they'll know what to do.' In the course of the afternoon, Adam sparks a comedic avalanche of misinformation as he warns the jocks, the thespians and the academics that Amy is in real trouble. Before long, rumors inflate and accusations fly as each social group accuses the other of driving Amy to the dege. Ultimately, they learn to work together for Amy's sake, and when Amy comes home they surprise her with an abundance of love and support. They inform a totally confused Amy of Adams histerical phone calls, and she immediately reassures her friends that she's perfectly fine All ends well - until there is an unexpected knock at the door....
