SYNOPSIS: Garrett Scott begins seventh grade on the day his obnoxious, self-centered dad Rick moves out of the family home. In response, Garrett tries to buddy up to the new bully in school, avoid the taunting of a middle school gang, stay out of trouble with the teachers at school, put off his earnest, nerdy friends on the Academic Competition Team, and deal with his distracted mom Meredith and annoyingly happy little sister Millie, all while trying to figure out how to ruin Rick's life like Rick ruined the family. HENCHMAN is a story about the effects of divorce, bullies, math word problems, and dancing school on one boy's life.
