Red, a bird who has been an outcast ever since he was a hatchling due to his temper, lives on Bird Island with other flightless birds. When his temper causes a premature hatching of another bird's egg, he is sentenced to anger management class, which is the maximum penalty allowed on the island. Red's classmates Chuck, who is hyperactive and can move at hypervelocity, and Bomb, who can cause explosions with his anger and fear, try to befriend him, but he avoids them.
