Best friends Weekend and Zay seem like opposites. While Zay loves going to school, Weekend would rather stay home and play video games. So when Zay ropes Weekend into a Lego Math & Writing Camp, Weekend is furious. Next thing he knows, he's going to school on a Saturday, helping kids build with Legos, and avoiding Zay at all costs.
