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