Danny is a junior at Yale. He works as a dishwasher in the dining hall. His family is not wealthy. Danny's dad decided to buy a food truck and make a run as a business owner. Unfortunately his dad's health is not good. When Danny comes home for college breaks, he starts working in the truck with his dad. Later he tacks over the truck runs.
The truck has to make it to different sites on time for worker breaks. Danny gets up really early to collect the supplies and make it to the sites on time. Eventually some mobsters want to make a move on the food truck business. Danny tells the mobster's son to kick rocks. He says the same to the godfather. Later the mobster's son come with a baseball bat and some goods. Danny manhandles the son. In retaliation, the mobsters torch the food truck.
Danny met up with a past school girl he met on one of his truck runs. They got hot and heavy kissing, but it took a long time for her to give into sex with him. Once the deed was done, Danny lost interest and hid from her at his college. Eventually this girl shows up in Danny's dorm pregnant. Danny still tells her he is not ready to be a dad. The girl decided to get with a past boyfriend who will marry her.
Danny is more interested in a girl who is part of a literary magazine he is a part of on campus. This girl is Polly. She is complicated at she is sort of breaking up with a professor she was dating. However the professor and Polly still seem to want to be a couple, even though the professor has moved on to some other chick. The pregnancy ex-girlfriend of Danny gets in the way of Danny making progress with Polly.
Eventually Danny realizes he has lost with Polly. Instead he gets with a coworker at the dining hall, who does not attend school at Yale. She only works there. She is hot. The last guy that dated her got a severe beat down by her overprotective brothers. They literally put him in the hospital and he had to get a lot of surgery. To add insult to injury, the girl from the dining hall dumped the hospital-bound boyfriend.
