Feeling the need for change she falls for the most unsuitable male possible... Ari (Matthew Dyktynski), a Classics student, part time gigolo and the Warren Beatty of the campus. Little does she know she ahs her own secret admirer... Michael (Matt Day), a shy medical student who is living in the share house from hell and wants out.
