Meet Oz.... He's got a talent for trouble but his heart's always in the right place (well, nearly always). Uprooted from his friends and former life, Oz finds himself stranded in the sleepy village of Slowleigh. When a joke backfires on the first day at his new school, Oz attracts the attention of Isobel Skinner, the school psycho - but that's just the beginning. After causing an accident that puts his mum in hospital, Oz isn't exactly popular at home, either. His older sister's no help, but then she's got a problem of her own...one that's growing bigger by the day.

He’s even showing off some fancy new footwork to Mrs. P! But it turns out he’s been learning much more than how to put on a show.

Meanwhile, Ben has an argument with his best friend Janet, and waiting for her to apologize first isn't going so well....
