In the small town of Preston, Idaho, 16-year-old Napoleon Dynamite leads a unique life. Awkward and alienated from his peers, Napoleon floats through high school and deals with bullies. After his grandmother is injured in a quad-bike accident, Napoleon and his older brother Kip find themselves in the care of Uncle Rico, a door-to-door salesman who is overly nostalgic of his high school glory days. Napoleon befriends new student Pedro, who wants to run for class president against popular girl Summer. And if matters weren’t already complicated enough, Napoleon’s budding crush on equally awkward Deb creates a whole new slew of problems.
As shenanigans unfold and friendships are tested in the dingy town of Preston, Napoleon may just find out that life has changed for the better. Vote for Pedro!
