But I'm a Cheerleader is a wacky coming-of-age comedy about Megan, a typical high school cheerleader who has the perfect life. That is, until she finds out that everyone she knows thinks she's a lesbian and her parents send her to a "rehabilitation" camp called "True Directions." It is at this camp, under the strict tutelage of headmistress Mary Brown that Megan meets Graham, a sexy tomboy who shows her exactly what her "true direction" is.
