When We Were Trekkies follows the exploits of five bridge-and-tunnel kids entering a magical realm of starship captains, interplanetary goddesses, and comic book monsters. Before nerds took over pop culture, fans struggled to convince their families, friends, and an uncaring world that This Was Important.
In "Stardate: Zero," high schoolers Jonny, Harold and Tom believe that they are unique (and alone) in their intense love of a cancelled TV series. But a chance discovery reveals the existence of Star Trek conventions-and they race to prepare costumes for a Masquerade contest at the show in New York City.
