Eine haarsträubende Tour de Force durch den Kosmos einer englischen Universität Morris Gutman ist frustriert. Seine Stelle an der Universität von Coketown ist wieder einmal nur befristet, seine Frau ist chronisch schlecht gelaunt, und sein Dissertationsthema leider völlig außer Mode. Deshalb hat Morris auch nur geringe Chancen, als er sich auf eine Planstelle bewirbt, zumal die sexbesessene Zoe, Mitglied des Berufungsausschusses, ihn völlig ignoriert. Als er jedoch den smarten Gaststudenten und Liebling von Zoe eines Abends auf dem Uniparkplatz versehentlich überfährt, kommt ihm eine perfide Idee ? Witzig und turbulent. Ein Feuerwerk schwarzen Humors!
