A 12-year-old girl genius invents a popularity chemical for the state science fair and flips the high school hierarchy on its head. Erwin is a genius, far smarter than any of her high school classmates. But Erwin's genius has come at a price: isolation. She is determined to win the State Science Fair. After racking her brain for an idea, it finally came to her: a popularity chemical. Erwin teams up with fellow outcast and chemistry guru, Winston. Their experiment is a great success and the two seem like a shoo-in for the science fair grand prize. Until Erwin uses the chemical on herself behind Winston's back.
