Sam, Neal, and Bill befriend a pretty new transfer student, but soon fear of losing her to the popular crowd and try to win her over with a series of fun things they plan for her. Lindsay, Nick, Daniel, and Ken decide to get fake IDs so they can see a hot local band perform at a bar. However, after they go through the trouble of getting their IDs and getting into the bar, the group is stunned to find out who the hot local bands lead singer is.
Freaks and Geeks tells the stories of two unique groups of teenagers dealing with life in high school during the 1980s.
The show follows Lindsay Weir as she rebels and begins hanging out with a crowd of burnouts (the 'freaks'), while her brother Sam Weir navigates a different part of the social universe with his nerdy friends (the 'geeks').
