Lucy is excited to be a big sister, however, her parents are worried when Molly is born with Down Syndrome. Lucy must learn to navigate the 4th as an outsider. When she gets paired up with Sam, a quiet boy that everyone seems to forget about, for an animal project, Lucy learns that popularity was not all it was cracked up to be. Instead, Lucy and Sam decided to create their own pack, a pack of dorks with April and Sheldon.
