After bumping into Marisol at school, Ignacio "Iggy" Garcia's world is spun around. But Marisol has too much going on to be bothered with the likes of Iggy. As Iggy stresses over how to get Marisol to like him, his grandfather comes to the rescue. The thing is, not only is his abuelito dead but he also gives terrible love advice.
