Summary:

Darren Giles has lost his college scholarship, can’t work up the courage to ask out the girl of his dreams and cant even afford to stay in college another semester. Unless he can survive the teenage dominatrix, New York’s largest drug mogul, convince his parents he’s not gay, write a paper on Dante’s Inferno, escape three thugs chasing the wrong guy and sell fifty pills of ecstasy in time to make his tuition payment.

Reviews:

“The cast is the crème de la crème of indie heavy hitters…. The film is a consistently amusing romp through young, downtown New York with an uber-hip soundtrack to match its uber-hip cast.”

Rachel Antonoff, Huffington Post

“This movie is fueled by the silliness of the script. It knows it’s ridiculous, outrageous and over the top — and that’s why it works.”

Dan Mecca, Poughkeepsie Journal
