Arvy Keening discovers 200 mysterious pills in her deceased mother's closet just as she prepares to graduate from Westheimer University. Two drug dealers arrive with devastating news: the pills are Mona, a rare pharmaceutical that triggers intense orgasms, and Arvy's mother owed them money. They deliver a brutal ultimatum: move all 200 pills within 48 hours or die. Arvy enlists Wolf, the campus drug dealer whose charm proves both helpful and distracting. Together they race through their college town, targeting horny students, desperate bar patrons, and a secretive sorority with plans of their own. As customers experience Mona's powerful effects, Arvy confronts the grief she has buried since her mother's death. The frantic sales mission becomes a journey of sexual awakening and emotional release.
