Matt Donaghy (Big Mouth) and Ursula Riggs (Ugly Girl) have experienced bad things being done to them by other human beings. Class clown Matt is unjustly accused of threatening to bomb the school and kill scores of people. His entire life changes as friends and teachers avoid him and he with withdraws. Ursula has been a misfit since elementary school when she towered over classmates and developed her self-protecting "ugly" persona. She is a stand-out basketball player, but not a team player. Ursula is the only "friend" to support Matt and both realize the treasure of true friendship and learn "there's no point in dwelling on the past and brooding, replaying old hurts and humiliations in your head."
"The hard part of humanity is history. All that's been done to human beings by other human beings."
