The 16-year-old protagonist Russell (played by Cameron Deane Stewart) is sunny and handsome, able to date any girl, but he falls for Kevin (played by Justin Deeley), the captain of the school football team. Kevin, wanting to spend more time with Russell, brings him onto the team, but Russell quickly becomes the star quarterback. When the two are getting close, they are inadvertently interrupted by a Chinese-American girl named Ming (played by Ally Maki), who invites them to join a strange club called the 'Geography Club', which is said to be filled with people like them. However, as Russell begins to feel that more of his peers need help, Kevin always puts football first, and the two start to drift apart... Based on the bestselling young adult novel of the same name, 'Geography Club' is a microcosm of American campus life, telling the story of a group of vibrant young people discovering their sexual orientation, dreams, and values in life. Notably, Alex Newell, who played the charismatic transgender character 'Unique' in 'Glee', also gives a standout performance in this film.
