Could life get any worse? Not only has Mike been denied his summer job and time with his friends, he's been dumped at his grandparents. A sixteen year old, big city boy trapped in small town Aylmer Ontario with his grandfather who hates him...and for no good reason, well, almost. Thank goodness for Gramma. Mike has built himself a nasty reputation and driven a wedge into his parent's marriage. While they head to Mexico to work on their issues, Mike faces the consequences of his actions.

Resolving to make better choices for himself, Mike works to build a relationship with his grandfather, but the old man isn't going to make that easy. Can Mike break his habit of bad choices, figure out how to turn Grumps into Gramps and save his summer holidays?
