Zee doesn't start out as a graffiti artist, but with the town's new mall being anti-teen, graffiti becomes a way for him to express his anger and frustration. Not surprisingly, he gets caught. The mural he is coerced into painting to cover his earlier work ends up being a doorway for communication between the town merchants and Zee and his friends. Zee gradually comes to see another way of looking at things while his art leads the older generation to look beyond teen stereotypes.
