Michael Eden has one big problem as he starts college life. He is good at science and rubbish at everything else: sport, money, social skills and girls. Especially girls. In short he is an utter nerd.

Being analytical he is willing to try new and unusual ways of solving his problems. He befriends two very different sisters, Georgie and Charley. Georgie is an art student who needs him as a model. Charley desperately needs tuition in spreadsheets for her new office job. Michael quickly learns to appreciate that art and science are two sides of the same coin - being human. Life gets complicated when a jealous ex-boyfriend decides to remove Michael completely from the scene.

Our story, set against a background of modern Bristol, sees Michael's platonic and romantic relationships unfold. But which sister, if either, will favour our overgrown schoolboy as he develops into a young man?
