George Michael, an unsuspecting first-year engineering student along with his friends The Three Stooges, gets swept into a secret coup by student union leaders to overthrow the current president. As he rises through the chaos and takes down the corrupt university board, his noble intentions slowly give way to ambition. Power consumes him, and he becomes the very tyrant he once opposed—only to be brought down in the end by the one person he trusted most: his love interest Mikaela Jackson.
