Leo wants to be cool, and his little brother Mug wants to be as cool as Leo. So they talk about all the ways they can do that: wearing different clothes, being rude, being mysterious, watching scary movies, pranking people…being anyone but themselves! But they soon learn that being “cool” is far too much work, doesn’t lead to rewards, and it’s a lot easier just to be who you really are.
