Class

Jonathan, a small-town student, arrives at a prestigious private school and is paired with Skip, a wealthy and more experienced roommate.

The relationship ends when she learns he is still in school, but a later invitation to spend the holidays at Skip's family home reveals that Ellen is Skip's mother, with consequences for the friendship between the two roommates.
