Leo Caraway is a very intelligent boy who has a full ride scholarship to Harvard, but sadly his luck will change. Melinda, Leo's best friend for as long as he can remember is the biggest punk and goth fan ever, which is strange because Leo is nothing like that. Leo has a full-ride to Harvard but supposedly getting caught cheating on a math exam ruins his chances unless he can come up with $40,000 to pay in order to go. Leo finds out at a young age that the dad he knew his entire life isn't his biological father. His mother tells him that King Maggot a famous punk rocker in the 80's is his real father. Luckily Melinda invites Leo to go to a convention to see King Maggot for the first on stage in twenty years. While there Leo stupidly rushes on the stage and confronts Maggot with a note saying that he is his son. After being thrown out and Melinda being so mad and won't even talk to him, Leo finds his way home and a few days later gets a call from King Maggot's manager if Leo would be willing to come out and get a DNA test to make sure that he really is the King's son. Once they finally meet each other the doctor says the test results will take about six to seven weeks to analyze. So during that time King offers Leo to come on tour with him for the summer so they can get to know each other for a little bit. Does Leo say yes to going on tour with King Maggot? Does Leo find out if King really is his father? Read to find out.
