Sometimes the best Christmas gift is knowing what you really want. Rusty Baker is a rich, entitled, oblivious jock, and he might have stayed that way if he hadn't become friends with out-and-proud Oliver Campbell from the wrong side of the tracks. When Oliver kisses him goodbye before Rusty leaves for college, Rusty is forced to rethink everything he knows about himself. But nothing can help Rusty survive a semester at Stanford, and he returns home for Thanksgiving break clinging to the one thing he knows to be true: Oliver is the best thing that's ever happened to him. Rusty's parents disagree, and Rusty finds himself homeless for the holidays. But with Oliver's love and the help of Oliver's amazing family, Rusty realizes that failing college doesn't mean he can't pass real life with flying rainbow colors.
