Tricky Wisdom: Year I

Darcy Wright is a closeted lesbian who has been infatuated with her best friend, Taylor, since junior high. Leaving her small northeast Minnesota town for Boston in a quest to become a doctor, she moves in with fellow med-student Olivia Boyd, a neurotic, anal, gigantic thorn in the side. The first year of juggling medical school is gruelling enough, but it’s nothing compared to living with Olivia. Coming out of her sexually-frustrated closet to friends and family with an anti-climactic flop, Darcy uses her newly publicised sexuality to try and win Taylor’s affections through an ill-hatched scheme that crosses uncomfortable lines. The result is as unexpected to Darcy as Darcy’s affinity for medicine is to Olivia. The first year of medical school is a nerve-wracking encounter in medicine, learning lessons the hard way, and desires of the heart.
