Stacy & Mia

$16.00

The night before their sophomore year, Stacy and Mia grind on each other in the basement of a sorority house. The next morning, they’re randomly assigned roommates. Throughout the Fall, they avoid falling into something deeper… for a while. Trapped in their rooms, the gravity of the situation hits them and after bonding over shared family trauma, being queer, and a healthy amount of Jungle Juice, they start dating. But when Stacy’s financial woes come to light, Mia tries to solve the problem… by giving Stacy a check to make her problems go away. Does Stacy take the money?
