The Undergrad Years is a New Adult contemporary miniseries about first loves, independence, and everlasting friendships. Lex Easton, women’s studies major, motorcycle enthusiast, and virgin. I gotta protect them and keep my mouth shut. Why should I? My friends and I had a previous stint in juvie that nearly destroyed us. His inked body is jacked like a superhero, and he says I can trust him. Officer Ford Gotti, the Harley-wheelin’ biker cop who arrested us, keeps sticking his perfectly-sculpted nose into my case.

Like I’m walking around Soho with a stick of dynamite in my Louis Vuitton purse-not! Now, my besties and I are in jail. According to the police report, this vomit-inducing incident happened around the same time I’d supposedly blown-up my mother’s penthouse. This summer, I’d planned to celebrate my eighteenth birthday in Europe with my fellow Manhattanites-Taddy Brill, Blake Morgan, and Vive Farnworth-until I caught my boyfriend screwing my mother.
