      Cameron Boxer dovedl svůj takzvaný životní styl do dokonalosti: ve škole prolézá s odřenýma ušima a svůj veškerý volný čas tráví hraním videoher ve speciálně upravené suterénní místnosti. To všechno mu hladce prochází až do okamžiku, kdy kvůli svému koníčku málem způsobí doma požár. Je třeba napravit vzniklé škody – proto Cameron se svými dvěma věrnými kamarády „založí“ smyšlený školní klub, takže se navenek zdá, že koná dobré skutky, místo aby se ulejval. Geniální! Až na to, že některé děti si myslí, že klub opravdu existuje – a Cameron je jeho předsedou. Než se Cameron naděje, pomáhá, kde se dá, a účastní se velké akce na záchranu bobra Elvise před jistým vyhynutím. Přitom získá řadu přátel, ale i několik velmi vlivných nepřátel. Kluk, který se vždycky snažil být nenápadný a do ničeho se nepletl, je naráz středem všeobecné pozornosti… a aby v tomhle kole zvítězil, bude muset zapojit všechny svoje povalečské schopnosti.
