Jason is finding his feet at university. He’s just met Peter, a smart and confident young man, who could help Jason with his studies. A friend perhaps, Jason hopes, who will help him meet women on campus.

Is he going mad? From grief, perhaps. Can lessons from his formidable philosophy lecturer help? Jason is even given a second chance, but will he do any better?
