Add/Drop

Who has not struggled with the ambition of finding true love, of daring to act – even though it might lead to a terrible mistake – and of finally taking the plunge into the unknown territory of commitment? Is it possible to trust in love again after your heart has been broken? This is the critical question for a group of college students struggling to forge their identities as they teeter on the cusp between adolescence and adulthood. Fern has been jilted by her boyfriend Zach; Oliver’s heartthrob, Angela, has left him to join an ashram; Cooper’s trying to tame his libido; and Luna just wants to pass her final exams. Although Fern and Oliver have both sworn to never love again, they find a common bond through their shared experience of loss. When their friendship threatens to overstep its bounds and turn to love, however, romantic chaos ensues. It’s all complicated by the bumbling attempts of Cooper and Luna to bring the two together, and obstructed by the passionate Damien, who has designs on Fern, himself. Throw in a brilliant but clueless doctoral candidate who manages to confuse things even more, and you have all the ingredients for a light-hearted yet touching exploration of love lost and unexpectedly found.
