A typical Midwestern 18 year-old freshman at a large state university, and eager to delve into the college party life, instead discovers that school is not the beer-driven, sexual fantasy of his imagination. Determined to do anything to obtain the girl of his dreams (a gorgeous but reluctant sorority girl), he decides to adopt a gay identity in order to insinuate himself in her life. The casual charade backfires quickly lands him in a morass of campus activism, gender warfare, fraternity hazes, sorority torture, "coming out" issues, political martyrdom, and ultimately, a university-wide meltdown.
