After college graduation, Grover's girlfriend Jane tells him she's moving to Prague to study writing. Grover declines to accompany her. Paralyzed by postgraduation ennui, Grover, Otis, Max and Skippy remain on campus, denying the real-world futures awaiting them. Nobody wants to radically alter his life, yet none of them wants to end up like Chet, who tends bar and is in his tenth year. The four friends typify a generation of adults-to-be unable to reconcile their hermetic educational experience with workaday responsibility, and posing the eternal question, where do we go from here?

MPAA rating: Rated R for strong language and some sexuality.
