Thus, she's looking for a replacement and tells her roommate, Lara (JESSICA BIEL), that her choice is Sean. Lara tells her that Sean is a drug dealer who distributes drugs for Rupert (CLIFTON COLLINS, JR.) to many of the students including Lauren, Lara, Marc (FRED SAVAGE) and Mitchell (THOMAS IAN NICHOLAS). Nevertheless, Lauren doesn't seem to care.
Nor does she know that Paul is also interested in Sean, although that's based on him misreading signals from Sean who has no interest in him. Instead, he's intrigued by various anonymous love letters that he eventually concludes are from Lauren who's in the same class taught by Lance Lawson (ERIC STOLTZ)
As time in the film jumps around and reverses on itself, we watch as the three narcissistic students deal with their triangular relationship as well as college life and everything it presents to them.
One of the former includes a woman regaining consciousness after passing out to find a young man raping her and a student filming the encounter. Other sexual material involves several instances of masturbation, talk of losing one's virginity, brief views of a porno magazine, a porno tape, while one student is bisexual, comes on to, and fantasizes about another male student. Male (penises, butts) and female nudity (breasts, butts) is also seen, as are various scantily clad women.
Various characters smoke and/or drink (the latter to excess) and they and others do drugs (pot, ecstasy, cocaine, prescription pills). One student is a distributor for a local drug dealer. Other characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes.
Beyond the above rape, violence includes some pushing, striking and threatening (with a gun) of others. One character commits suicide by slitting her wrists (graphically seen with bloody results), and another attempts suicide. Some of that material could be unsettling or suspenseful to some viewers, while other blood and gross material is also present.
