College is a coming of age where life introduces you to: pain, pleasure, failure, achievement, love, humor and enlightenment all rolled up in one. The situation is no different at McNair University where the lives of two students cross paths with one unique professor to create a life changing experience for them all.

Chase Douglass, high on masculinity but low on maturity steps foot on the campus of McNair University unprepared and drunk on confidence. His only plan is to major in women and the power of sex.
