Plot

Hal Hefner is an average sophomore at Plainsboro High School in New Jersey, he stutters and suffers the daily indignities of a typical teenager, but, with only a little encouragement, Hal falls in love with the star of the debate team and finds himself suddenly immersed in her ultra-competitive world of high school debating with its players, its politics and its own set of rules. "Rocket Science" is a gentle, witty and perceptive coming of age drama.
