- Synopsis
- Ernie Dolan, 14, is plagued by the curse of the average. Nothing about him stands out - except his stutter. Only best friend Mike Rivers sees him at his best. Then, at a competitive basketball camp Mike excels while Ernie is -- average. When Ernie blunders in a pickup game, Rich Craig, obnoxious camp hotshot, nicknames him "Choke". This sets the tone for Ernie's first week. But he soon finds three new allies: bunk mate Albert Mann, a goofy genius and practical joker; Coach Petrovich, a 6'8" Russian who mangles the English language; and camp director Tim Sanders, the mentor every kid needs. Soon, Ernie and Mike are on the outs, as Mike hangs with Craig and the jocks. But things change dramatically as Ernie morphs from outcast to hero, risking his life to save three campmates from near tragedy.
