When Gideon Greenwich accidentally discovers that his fellow students are being controlled by evil beings posing as teachers, he realizes someone must take a stand. But challenging the the god of sports, the goddess of fashion, and the god of so-called music unleashes otherworldly resistance, bringing chaos to Eastward High. Cliques are transcended, and jocks become nerds as the very fabric of reality unravels.
