Jack Parsons (Jesse Bradford) grew up in poverty while suffering through childhood at the hands of an abusive, alcoholic father. At college, fuelled by narcotics, alcohol, and a can't lose philosophy, Jack runs with the popular crowd, pledges the school's most exclusive fraternity, and continues to pine for his secret love, Anne (Sienna Guillory)—even though he knows his wealthy friend Freddy (Scot Williams) loves her. When another sexy girl enters the fray, they all unwittingly become perfect victims in a dangerous game of chasing the ultimate high.
