Onetime scholarship student Darren Giles (Lou Taylor Pucci) is faced with a mountain of problems, and selling 50 tabs of Ecstasy in time to pay his college tuition so he can stay in school is only one of them. He's being hunted by one of New York's most dangerous drug lords, and he has a paper due on Dante's Inferno. All this, and he can't even get up the gumption to ask out the girl of his dreams (Kristen Bell).
