When Mandy Shaw presents her short story in writing class, her fellow student Brendan Mahoney's erotic interpretation has the class in an uproar. Later, in Professor Lowe's office, a stoned Brendan tries to explain, but his conference is broken up by the appearance of Mandy herself. Professor Lowe and Mandy share an awkward and intimate conversation about fiction, horses, and her habit of 'going for older guys.' With career, family and morality hanging in the balance, Professor Lowe must make a fateful decision. Based on the short story by Steve Almond ("My Life in Heavy Metal", "Candyfreak."
