Set on a college campus in the late 1960's, this twisty coming-of-age tale tells the story of an isolated, socially awkward 18-year old trying to make sense of shifting sexual mores and social norms. As he goes through typical early days of freshman year, with new roommates, large lecture halls and even a beer party, he also encounters situations he never anticipated, including the attentions of a pretty female student who doesn't seem to realize that "girls like her don't associate with boys like me." As he tries to unravel the mystery of "why me?" and new perception-changing surprises keep knocking him off balance, he moves forward with a mixture of fear, humor and uncharacteristic boldness, until a climactic moment when all the pieces of the puzzle finally fit together.
