Прича о харизматичном неспособњаковићу Питеру Лафлеру, власнику оронуле теретане „Код просечног Џоа“, чија више него просечна клијентела обухвата самозваног гусара, изузетно мрачног заљубљеника у спорт и жгољаву бубалицу. Убрзо постаје очигледно да је теретана „Код просечног Џоа“ у финансијским проблемима и ускоро ће је лепа адвокатица Кејт Вич затворити - осим ако Питер не плати 50.000 долара. Иако та теретана не представља нарочиту претњу теретанама Глобо и фитнес Голијату прекопута, чији је власник Вајт Гудмен, он види лаку прилику да их преузме, па то и покушава да уради. Питерова шарена екипа сталних муштерија није одушевљена због тога и организује такмичење у доџболу против теретана Глобо, договоривши се да победник добије све.

Прича је смештена у крај слободњачких шездесетих година прошлог века у средњу школу у Пало Алту, Калифорнија. Један професор историје је дошао на идеју да направи необичан експеримент, тако што је предложио ученицима да своје одељење организују по узору на високе „моралне“ и „људске“ вредности нацистичке Немачке. Они (ученици) су новостворени покрет - назван Талас. Од зезанције првог дана, већ другог дана од почетка експеримента уочавају се промене у понашању ученика; претапање у масу без личне одговорности и кроз заједничку визију (путем „пригодних“ крилатица) које предлаже вођа (професор). Ентузијазам ученика расте и они постају типични заслепљени представници неког покрета, крећу да врбују друге ученике по школи... и у шта се све то претвара... и какве размере поприма...

Legend has it that the human race is not the only dominant civilization living on Earth. Two other races exist in this world: the Makai (a demon race) and the Jujinkai (a half-man, half-beast race). Once every 3,000 years, a supreme being known as the "Choujin" (Overfiend) will emerge and bring balance to all three realms on Earth. In present-day Japan, after 300 years of endless searching, a Jujinkai named Amano Jyaku has discovered the presence of the Choujin inside high school slacker Tatsuo Nagumo. But now, Amano, along with his sister Megumi and their sidekick Kuroko must protect Nagumo and his new girlfriend Akemi Ito from the Makai, who believe that Nagumo is not the Choujin, but an evil entity bent on destroying all living beings on Earth.

It is a hard time for Markus and his girl Sandra from a lower grade, as he wants to hang out with his old friends, whereas she wants him to be there for her. It's an even harder time for Dirk, who is to be expelled from school if he fails the math exam that is coming up around midday, and it is the hardest time for Michael, who is a perfect pupil, but has no fun in life at all - and doesn't even know it yet. When Steven calls out a party to celebrate his letter of exemption from the army, they all get together for one of the last real cool events ever.

The film tells the story of the friendship between Johann and Ludwig as they strive for the ultimate “buddy” relationship. Going beyond, well beyond, what would be considered good and healthy, the pair attempt to become the ideal twins, driving their relationship based on their partnership in competitive rowing (coxless pairs) to the ultimate, to perfect harmony in mind, word, thought and deed. But their symbiotic relationship is thrown out of balance: Ludwig strives to tighten the bonds ever closer, but Johann discovers happiness in the form of love for Ludwig’s sister, Vera. But because Ludwig hates her, the couple keep their relationship secret. But secrets have a way of coming out and Ludwig is wounded to the core. As the finals of the rowing competition draw closer, Ludwig has already set his sights on a greater goal: to preserve their friendship forever, no longer in life but in death.
