Overview

Spectacularly awkward Junior-high student Dawn "Wiener-dog" Wiener (Heather Matarazzo) is relentlessly tormented by her classmates, and perpetually dismissed by her family and teachers.

Battling insecurities and coping with an unsympathetic older brother, and cutesy younger sister, her attempts to find popularity at school fall short. Whilst trying to win the affections of her crush – the lead singer in her brother's garage band - Dawn can only seem to attract the wrong kind of attention from class-bully, Brandon (Brendan Sexton III)
