Although Ned is mostly interested in pop and rock music, his father stuck him in a boarding school where most kids are into rugby. When handsome rugby star Conor moves in as his roommate, his senior year look like a bummer. But they turn out to get along brilliantly, play guitar together, and are signed up for a talent show at an all-girls school by their English teacher (Andrew Scott, Moriarty from "Sherlock"). And the big rugby match is looming, too, the first time their team has made it to finals in years…
