Molly shows up at the University of Pittsburgh an out-lesbian, but otherwise closeted--meaning that she isn't really herself, and maybe doesn't even know who she is. She does know she's got a massive crush on Cora, a girl from her high school, who like half of their graduating class is now at Pitt. 

Alex is out--and about. Her girlfriend Natalie thinks Alex is a slut, and...maybe she's right? Alex decides that she wants to prove herself to Natalie, so while Natalie is on tour, and Alex is freshman-ing at Pitt, she determines that the way to show Natalie that she's a good person is by helping Molly get Cora. 

What develops is an enemies-to-friends buddy story, until it starts to develop into something else!
