The story

Smith, an 18-year-old film student who identifies sexually as "undeclared", has been having strange dreams recently. He is going to college with his best friend, Stella, whom he has known since junior high, and finds a note saying he is the "chosen son." He has a roommate named Thor, whom he lusts after even though Thor is straight. Smith and Stella go to a party where Stella hooks up with a girl named Lorelei, whom Smith recognizes from one of his dreams.
