The University of Colorado has many valuable lessons to teach young British exchange student Ross Cooper. There is the art of unfastening bra straps using only a foreign accent, the politics of corrupting campus radio through obscene freestyle rapping, and the science of sharing a jail cell without using the communal toilet.

But when he finds himself falling for April – the all-American girl of his adolescent dreams – only to confront her smarmy hulk of a boyfriend, Ross faces his biggest education of all.

It proves to be a master class in friendship and depravity, lust and restraint, rumour and honesty, and the hard-fought sport of love.
