One day, during a game of poker, Andy inadvertently reveals that he is still a virgin. His friends are shocked and amazed, and soon the whole store is buzzing with speculation about Andy's sex life.
Determined to help their friend finally get laid, Andy's friends set him up on a series of awkward blind dates that usually end in disaster. Eventually, Andy meets Trish, a charming single mother who runs a nearby store. Trish takes a liking to Andy and they begin dating.
As their relationship progresses, Andy struggles to reveal his virginity to Trish.
