Our heroes: Jodi Stein, cheerleader, bat mitzvah, and sorority hopeful, whose life plan prominently features her high school sweetheart, Buster; Celeste Alexander, tormented intellectual and virgin, the daughter of a former Buddhist monk and ex-nun; and Ali Sheppard, a soul lost in a sea of lollipops and glow-sticks, whose long distance boyfriend is a trip-hop hypnotica DJ named Sensei.

It doesn't seem as if these three roomates have much in common. Not at first.

But then a night of misery brings them together -- a night when Jodi finds Buster in a compromising position, Celeste discovers an unexpected side to her date, Jordan, and Ali has a distressing phone call with Sensei. What starts as a simple game -- a game born of heartbreak, a bottle of tequila, and a Scrabble board -- evolves into a three-woman sexual revolution.
