Joe (Tim Swain) is a small-town kid who has recently left home to study at a prestigious New England arts college. Before long, Joe and freewheeling fellow student Jennifer (Julia Frey) have become fast friends. Both are struggling simply to pay the bills and keep up on their tuition, at times resorting to petty larceny in order to make ends meet. Later, Joe strikes up a casual friendship with punky male hustler Ramon (Gil Bar-Sera), who suggests that he consider giving prostitution a try. Upon taking Ramon up on the offer, Joe begins to discover things about himself that he never would have known had he simply remained in his small town. 114 minutes.
