Synopsis
Mae Hartley (Kelli Berglund) and Gabby Harrison (China Anne McClain) are super smart tenth graders. Mae has a crush on jock Jaden (Noah Centineo), and thinks that he is going to invite her to Homecoming dance. But Mae gets publicly humiliated by cheerleader Nevaeh (Ashley Argota) who is already going with Jaden. In her embarrassment, Mae claims that she already has a boyfriend. To cover the lie, Gabby offers to program a virtual boyfriend for Mae using Mae's father (Roger Bart)'s computer software - which they think is used to design high definition video game characters. Gabby successfully creates a virtual boyfriend according to Mae's direction, and names him Albert (Marshall Williams).Actors

Strange things start to happen to Kyle, his ears become pointed, his hair starts turning orange, and he starts to become shorter. Kyle then returns home one day to find that his mom has shrunk to six inches. The truth is then revealed to Kyle: his family is made up of Leprechauns. Kyle is only half leprechaun, since his dad is from Cleveland. It also turns out that the gold coin he wore was the O'Reilly—Kyle's mother's maiden name—lucky coin. A magic coin, when in the possession of the youngest family member, allows all the leprechauns in the family to pass as normal human beings.
