Under the influence of a greater force none of them can explain, the six residents of the Meadows are prone to mass hysteria from time to time. Still, they solemnly deny having anything to do with the two missing Yale students. Nate is the captain of Yale's hockey team, the son of a financial criminal, and dead inside. Stephanie is a phenomenal storyteller, the daughter of the US Attorney prosecuting Nate's father, and was diagnosed with PTSD at a young age. They're Shakespeare being recited in an empty theater, a feeble mind, a Homeric hymn, childhood trauma. The laws of reason dictate they are to despise one another. The Assistant Dean dictates they are to be paired up for a lengthy project to overcome their difficulties. It is time that sees the hockey captain and the unfriendly waitress go from enemies to lovers, and it is Jared Fitzpatrick who sees his son as a pawn in a game he's desperate to win. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and illicit romantic trysts call for complicated feelings.
