Plot
Ambitious high school senior Matthew Kidman has been accepted to Georgetown University but cannot afford the tuition. As class president, he has raised $25,000 in order to bring a brilliant Cambodian student, Samnang, to study in the United States, but otherwise feels there is nothing exciting to remember from his high school years. His friends Eli (aspiring filmmaker and obsessed with porn) and Klitz (timid and socially awkward) are not receptive to his suggestions that they take some risks and get crazy before they graduate.
