Fascinated by the last words of famous people, Pudge leaves for boarding school to seek what a dying Rabelais called the Great Perhaps. Pudge becomes encircled by friends whose lives are everything but safe and boring. Their nucleus is razor-sharp, sexy, and self-destructive Alaska, who has perfected the arts of pranking and evading school rules. Pudge falls impossibly in love.
