Terry Griffith is a confident and ambitious high school senior with dreams of becoming a journalist. But when her article fails to win a summer internship โ and she suspects itโs because sheโs a girl โ Terry takes a bold step: she disguises herself as a boy and enrolls at a rival high school to prove her writing talent without gender bias.
Posing as โTerry the guy,โ she navigates a chaotic new world of locker rooms, football practice, and adolescent bravado. Along the way, she befriends a shy, nerdy student named Rick Morehouse and decides to help him build confidence and win the girl of his dreams. But the more time Terry spends with Rick, the more she finds herself falling for him โ a complication she never saw coming.
Terryโs double life spirals into a web of confusion, especially when her jealous boyfriend and an infatuated girl at the new school start asking questions. Her growing feelings for Rick force her to question how long she can keep up the charade โ and whether the truth will destroy the very connections sheโs built.
A gender-swapping teen comedy with heart, Just One of the Guys blends sharp humor with social commentary, challenging stereotypes and highlighting how being true to yourself is the bravest story of all.
