But it seems he's being foiled at every turn, and even his own body is conspiring against him. And when his math teacher is seriously injured from the shock and fright of witnessing just how out of control Bobby's changing adolescent body is getting, he starts to worry he's anything but normal.Faced with expulsion from school for violating the student handbook code, Bobby opts for therapy--Correctional Erectional Therapy.
