The show centers on a group of preteen students at Benedict Arnold Middle School who engage in all sorts of [[Hilarity Ensues|wacky hijinks during their everyday lives]]; but try as they may, they simply cannot avoid being put in detention by the end of the school day. There, they are kept under the strict supervision of [[Sadist Teacher|Eugenia P. Kisskillya]], a former Marine Corps sergeant who is also the school's gym teacher.

* [[Perky Goth|Shareena Wickett]], a freely-thinking [[Little Miss Snarker|Goth-dressed girl]] who prefers to avoid the in-crowd and finds pleasure in the sublime.

* [[The Hero|Emmitt Roswell]], a blonde boy with born leadership abilities which are questioned by the fact that [[Only Sane Man|he believes that aliens exist]] and tries fruitlessly to make contact with them. Could also be considered a [[Agent Mulder]] and or a [[Conspiracy Theorist]].

* [[Think Twins|Orangejella]] and [[The Smart Guy|Lemonjella LaBelle]] identical [[Black Best Friend|African-American]] sisters with high intellect and a habit of trying to one-up each other.

* [[The Chick|Shelley Kelley]], a [[Cheerful Child|perky girl]] who constantly kisses up to Kisskillya and as a result is seen as [[The Scrappy]] by the other kids.
