The series follows Todd, a transfer student who attends Wayside, an offbeat 30-story grammar school. It is loosely based on the Wayside School books by Louis Sachar, and several elements differ between the two works. The main characters are Todd (voiced by Michael Cera in the pilot; Mark Rendall in the series) and Dana (Lisa Ng), a resident overachiever who obsessively maintains the school's rules.
