Haruo Aizawa, who made his debut in the entertainment industry at the tender age of zero and took the world by storm as a child prodigy, gets caught up in his parents' divorce and retires at the age of eight, much to the regret of the public, saying, "I want to go back to being a normal kid!" However, Haruo, now a high school student, finds that there's nothing good about being a normal kid, so he decides to make a comeback and auditions for the super-popular drama "Outcast! School Days," and passes with flying colors! He develops a strong admiration for the passionate teacher, Mr. Konoike, in the drama and is gradually influenced by him. However, he becomes so engrossed in his role in the drama that he loses his balance with reality, and eventually Mr. Konoike starts to appear in his real life... This is an unconventional new coming-of-age school movie that uses a TV school drama as its motif and cynically depicts the boundary between the world of reality and fiction!
