Fish struggles with whether or not his prescription medication for ADHD is really worth taking since it also robs him of most of his creative energy, and Fish's one true talent is for art. So when he learns that Ella, a girl he has a crush on, wishes she could have a boost to help her study for all of her upcoming exams, he offers her one of his pills. Soon he becomes involved not only in selling his own meds but in laundering phony prescriptions from "Dr. Jim" to other students. Then one day, Dr. Jim is arrested as part of a drug sting, and Fish realizes how dangerous his involvement has become.
