Youth in Revolt is the tale of Nick Twisp and his quest to win the heart of Sheeni and hopefully lose his virginity along the way.
Nick meets his trailer park neighbour Sheeni, who’s cute enough, smart enough and seductive enough to quickly take Nick’s heart hostage for the long haul.
As Nick and Sheeni’s relationship blossoms, Sheeni persuades Nick to do two things, get his father a job in Ukiah, and get kicked out of his mother’s house so he can move in with his dad.
But since Nick is more of an intellectual than a rebel, he’s forced to invent a tough, no-nonsense alter-ego named Francois Dillinger, who smokes cigarettes, takes absurd risks and romances women as if these were things he was born to do.
Thus, together, Nick and Francois embark on a dangerous journey where laws will be broken, drugs will be taken and nerves will be shaken, all in the hopes of winning over the heart and soul of one Sheeni.
