Zeke Lareau, known by many as "The Player", and Auggie Jacobs, the
simple one who has never caused a problem, are two college seniors who
have never met. Both are only a semester away from graduation, or so
they think.
Teaming up to do a class project, a simple documentary about something
they truly believe in, they realize that even though their
personalities are night and day, they share a common trait in standing
up for what they believe.
Zeke, sensing Auggie's pain in dealing with the
recent breakup of his ex-girlfriend, Laina, decides to do his and
Auggie's assigned class documentary on his own. However, Zeke's newly
developed infatuation for Laina drives him to do the documentary about
Auggie and Laina's past relationship, unbeknownst to them. Zeke
deviously interviews them both and creates his documented masterpiece.
Auggie, while trying to hide his painful breakup with Laina, is slowly
building a new relationship with his new love interest, Maddy. The
documentary wins a class competition and air's over the university
station, exposing Auggie's old relationship to the world, and placing
his new relationship with Maddy in jeopardy. Zeke meanwhile is engulfed
in local stardom.
But all of this soon places Zeke and Auggie in the greatest struggle of
their young lives when they reconcile and team up to do their second
documentary, which exposes a celebrated university professor as a
sexual offender, leaving Auggie's new girlfriend, Maddy, in his wake as
the victim.
Facing expulsion from the university, Auggie and Zeke are faced with
the decision of whether to gain by subsiding, or accept whatever
consequences come from doing the right thing. The end result is a
glowing inner revelation to the truth about humanity, as well as what
it takes to go from being a student to understanding the sacrafice and
pains of adulthood.
