Parker Lewis is a teenager who apparently can't lose. He's cool, cute, popular, hip – and seems to get away with anything. That's not to say he's got no problems. His two primary nemeses are school principal Grace Musso, whose goal is getting Parker expelled; and his little sister Shelly, whose sole purpose seems to be tattling on Parker. However, with best friends Mikey and Jerry, Parker takes on the world and makes the best of high school.

Sometimes a bunch of little events occurs at just the right time to culminate into one big disaster. This is one of those days, as Grace Musso's review is done surprisingly at Santo Domingo. Chaos ensues, Grace is demoted to teaching the home-economics class, and Dr. Pankow becomes the new principal. When the new principal turns the school into a prison, Parker must figure out how to get Grace her job back.
With the Class of 1970 High School Reunion coming up, some surprising characters appear. Not only did Grace Musso graduate then, but Larry's dad, Parker's dad, and the dads of his two best buds. The fore-runner of Parker, Mr. Lewis was the resident prankster along with his buddies, and in their day they perpetrated the ultimate prank. Now the only evidence of their identities in the prank are about to be revealed as the time capsule from 1970 will be opened in front of the entire graduating class. Can Parker cover up the crime, or will his dad's legendary episode from years past cause Parker's downfall from Musso?
Many of Santo Domingo's main characters are trapped in the Atlas Diner and chaos ensues. Various panic attacks follow as the trapped people face certain doom in one way or another.

Now Parker's summer might not be as bright as he planned, with the fear of Brad looming as he seeks vengeance.
