I have a certain set of rules I try to live by. Rules that have always served me well. Until now...Rule one: Don't have sex with someone you work with. Rule two: Don't have sex with your friend's ex-boyfriend. Rule three: Don't have sex with your best friend who also happens to be the same ex-boyfriend of your friend. Rule four: Don't ever, under any circumstances, fall in love with your best friend. I guess it's safe to say, I officially broke all four of my rules.

In exchange for “free” medical care, these poor women, young and old, pay dearly by enduring spartan conditions, low-end everything, and a lack of privacy that’s downright appalling. Worse, although there is an experienced M.D. running the joint, a certain Dr. Jesse Langford, nearly all of the “free care” offered here is conducted by three horny young college men, including his lonely, touch-starved son, Byron. All are nothing but first-year pre-med students—woefully unqualified to be ordering shivering women out of their clothes and into a plethora of humiliating procedures.
