Teenager Jett Jackson (Lee Thompson Young) does his best to balance his schoolwork with his unique side job: playing action hero Silverstone on television. That becomes more difficult when an electrical accident on set suddenly reverses real life and fantasy. Now, Silverstone is plunged into the emotional minefield of middle-school life, and Jett finds himself trying to fill a superhero's shoes -- which means battling maniacal archenemy Dr. Kragg (Michael Ironside).
