The Hard Times of RJ Berger orbits the hilariously-hellish lives of a deeply unpopular 15 year-old (Paul Iacono) and his scheming; sex-obsessed best friend; Miles Jenner (Jareb Dauplaise). Other than pining after the girl of his dreams; Jenny Swanson (Amber Lancaster); receiving daily beatings from the meanest jock in school; Max Owens (Jayson Blair); and evading the stalker-ish advances of Lily Miran (Kara Taitz); there really isn't much excitement in RJ's life. That is; until his anatomical gift is accidentally exposed to the entire school.
