A lighthearted teen sex comedy centered on a nerdy protagonist's pursuit of romance and sexual experience with a popular girl.

A golden opportunity for finally getting deflowered arises after Virgil manages to get closer to the beautiful and popular Kellie Guthrie. Will Virgil's date with Kellie go smoothly? Or is Virgil going to blow his big chance to score with the girl of his dreams?
