Plot
Aaron, a college student with a passion for art, is majoring in engineering because his Mom insists. He falls in love with Linda, a classmate, a much older woman with a teenage daughter and a boyfriend, who she is not very interested in. While Linda is more interested in a friendship than a relationship, Beth, the 14 year old daughter, develops feelings for Aaron and confesses her unrequited love. Darcy, a woman who lives down the hall, also has some interest in Aaron, but that friendship is equally rocky.

Reception
