Thanks to the bad influence of his new college pals, the normally levelheaded Bailey (Scott Wolf) is torn between knuckling down to his schoolwork and taking "short cuts" in order to have a good time. High school seniors Julia (Neve Campbell), Sarah (Jennifer Love Hewitt) and Justin (Michael Goorjian) compete in a writing contest, with Justin overstepping all bounds of taste and propriety by penning a tell-all piece about Julia. And Charlie (Matthew Fox) makes a shocking discovery about his troubled ex-fiancee Kirsten (Paula Devicq).
