Synopsis

Steve has finally encountered independence for the first time. As he leaves a sheltered

home life behind and gets accepted at a prestigious art university, Steve must pursue

his aspirations despite competition from his classmates, including the beautiful and astute

Sari Phillips. Cynthia, Steve's mother, struggles to deal with the first major separation from

her son, and copes by trying to instill in him the ambition to win the school's illustrious art

contest. Through forced encounters, and aided along the way by Steve's fabulous roommate

Kyle, Steve and Sari learn about each other as they grow together in their new world. As

pressure mounts and the contest date looms closer, the competition becomes heated. Will

Steve win, or will Sari take everything he ever wanted?
