Spoilers ahead
Darryl Witherspoon, an economics student at Stratford University, faces a world of uneven odds. He doesn’t enjoy the wealth that his rival Scott Thorpe flaunts, nor the easy advantages of his best friend Tim LaFlour, a straight-edge punk rocker who happens to hold a hockey scholarship. In a striking display of desperation, Darryl is so strapped for cash that he donates four pints of blood in one day (taking on a different character each time) and later provides four vials of sperm in a single day. This is the kind of hunger that defines his scramble to get ahead.
