Tessa Young, an incoming freshman at Washington State University, arrives at college with her mother, Carol, and boyfriend Noah.
The conservative Carol is horrified by Tessa's alternative-styled roommate and her friend, upperclassman Steph Jones.
When Carol fails to convince Tessa to switch dorms, Carol warns her daughter about the dangers of college parties before leaving with Noah.
The next morning, Tessa returns to her room to find one of Steph's friends inside, an attractive, tattooed boy who makes several rude comments to Tessa.
Steph tells Tessa about the boy, Hardin Scott, who is a rebellious figure on campus.
On the first day of college classes, Tessa befriends Landon Gibson, who is also an English major.
Tessa learns from Landon that Hardin is his future step-brother since Landon's mom and Hardin's dad are engaged.
After the first week of college, Tessa reluctantly accompanies Steph to the party and plays 'Truth or Dare' with Steph's friends, including Hardin, during which she admits she is a virgin.
Hardin dares to kiss Tessa, but she runs from the group, embarrassed.
Hardin catches up to her and they share an intense moment that he takes as trivial.
Carol disapproves of Tessa's activities and blames Hardin, so Tessa promises to ignore him. But Hardin falls for Tessa.
Hardin brings Tessa to a stream in the woods. When Tessa implies the two are now dating, Hardin says he doesn't date, leaving Tessa heartbroken.
She subsequently ignores Hardin and invites Noah to stay the night with her.
That night, Landon calls Tessa to help him control a drunken Hardin.
.After an argument with Hardin, they are intimate together again.
The next morning, Tessa begs Noah for forgiveness for leaving him alone, and he says he'll think about it.
Tessa meets Ken Scott, Hardin’s father and the chancellor of the college, and he invites her to dinner at his home.
During the evening, Hardin argues with Ken and storms out to the backyard, where Tessa consoles him. Tessa stays the night and witnesses Hardin's intense nightmares.
The next morning, Hardin takes Tessa back to her room, only for Noah to be waiting for them. A fight almost breaks out between the two men, but Tessa tells Noah to leave.
Landon warns Tessa to be careful with Hardin.
Ken uses his connections to get Tessa an internship at Van's Publishing, asking in exchange for Tessa to convince Hardin to come to his wedding with Karen.
Hardin, initially pleased with the news of Tessa’s internship, becomes cold when he meets with his friends and abandons Tessa.
