Kicking and Screaming

Grover, Max, Otis, and Skippy, all 22-year-old friends, have just graduated from college. Otis is headed for graduate school in Milwaukee, and the three others should be starting their real post-school lives, but even if they had any plans, they're all having difficulty leaving the comfort of their friendship in this artificial environment of school, so they might just end up like their older acquaintance Chet, who believes that his career is at a student in this college; for the last decade he has been refusing to graduate and bartending at the townie hangout to pay for his life. Their next year to the September of the following calendar year is told. The previous year in aspiring writer Grover's life is also shown in flashback in relation to fellow English major Jane; the two had been been planning to live together as a couple after graduation.
