They've been laughed at, picked on and put down. But now it's time for the odd to get even!

Comedy

At Adams College, the jocks rule from their house on high, the Alpha Beta fraternity. So when a group of socially-challenged misfits try to go Greek, they're instantly rejected by every house on campus. Deciding to start their own frat to protect their outcast brothers, the nerds soon find themselves in a battle royale as the Alpha Betas try to crush their new rivals.

VIBE

This is a riotous, feel-good 80s romp celebrating the ultimate underdog victory. Expect a propulsive wave of escalating pranks, broad humor, and a genuinely triumphant spirit as the socially challenged find their voice. It's a raunchy, rebellious blast of pure comedic energy.
