John Baker Jr., a bored and awkward prep school senior, is jolted awake when he finds beautiful twentysomething Patty Vare lying unconscious near the academy. It soon becomes clear that she's harboring a terrible secret, involving her and a famous pitcher -- who now happens to be missing. To help Patty evade the cops, John hides her in his dorm room. But meddling students and school officials make the job very difficult. During her stay, John and this "older woman" get to know each other, and fall in love.

Haas and Ryder let off some serious sparks, even if the screenplay doesn't
