A seemingly simple coming-of-age story about young men who have nothing but sex on their minds turns into something far more complicated in this dark comedy. Big D desperately wants to lose his virginity on his 18th birthday. But when his Christian girlfriend rejects his advances, his best friend Zulie comes up with a plan that ends up going disastrously off the rails. An edgy comedy that depicts young male camaraderie in shocking and extreme ways, this hysterical ride stands above its genre counterparts with an honest approach to juvenile mischief and teen angst.
