Thorvald’s a typical high school kid finding his way and trying to get the attention of the girl he like Ida. Taking a cue from Ida’s campaign to ban a competing school’s football team’s mascot, the Redskins, Thorvald initiates an effort to change their own school’s mascot, the Viking, to something less offensive to Scandinavians like him. He teams up with an elusive community organizer, a mischievously alert neighborhood kid and Ida to ban the Viking Mascot.
