Nerd Project

Aspiring actor Luke Davis knew something went wrong when his girlfriend began asking him for peculiar things. Stacy liked him wearing glasses and plaid clothes to show off for her—nothing like the clothing he usually wore. But when he sees Andrew Young, Luke realizes Stacy seeks to shape him into her ideal man—a man like Andrew. A handsome biotechnology student, Andrew stands out for being smart and diligent—and what Luke would best describe as nerdy. All girls seem to pine after him, and Luke's not-so-subtle investigation of Andrew only further proves his admirability.

Unsurprisingly, their relationship ends, and Luke manages to get a dorm room after breaking up with Stacy. But to his utter horror, his roommate is none other than the perfect Andrew—who mistakes him for a stalker. Each day, the two begin letting go of their grudges against each other, and as the two attempt to coexist, they begin to form a tentative friendship. But there appears to be something magnetic between them that only grows more irresistible.
