Overview

Charlotte Simmons, bella e intelligente, ha vinto una borsa di studio e si ritrova catapultata dal paesino nelle montagne del North Carolina dove ha sempre vissuto nella prestigiosa Dupont University. Scoprirà presto che dietro la facciata di eccellenza culturale si agita un mondo corroso da una feroce competizione per il predominio, accademico, razziale, sociale, sessuale. La ragazza si sente lusingata quando scopre di essere stata "adottata" dai principali esponenti dell'élite studentesca. Entrare nelle loro grazie è per Charlotte una meravigliosa sorpresa, qualcosa che dà alla testa e rischia di farle tradire completamente i valori in cui è cresciuta, prima di arrivare a capire la grandezza del suo essere diversa e la forza che le dà la sua innocenza.
