Rebecca Warner has finished high school at the top of her class in a small South Dakota farm town and is headed to a college in Los Angeles. Her parents, Walter and Connie, and her boyfriend Travis are unhappy that she will be so far from home, and on her first day at the college she meets Fred "Crawl" Weasel, who runs the coed dormitory where she lives. Becca is overwhelmed by the new city and considers going home, but Crawl persuades her to give it a chance, and she settles in, dyes her hair, adopts a Californian wardrobe and gets a butterfly tattoo on her ankle.
