A tender, awkward, and honest look at loneliness and connection that feels like a late-night conversation with a new friend.

Tagline: College stinks.

But everything changes one night when Alex takes a leap and attends a party at Shithouse - a legendary party fraternity - where he forges a strong connection with Maggie.
