Brilliant trivia whiz Paul Tarson is great at answering little questions but horrible at answering the big ones – like what’s he going to do after grad school? When his father withdraws his funding, Paul is forced to confront his future and much procrastinated dissertation deadline…until he discovers the First Annual Ann Arbor Pub Trivia Tournament. Paul and his buddy James quickly form a team and rise to the top. When they get a shot at the championship at the exact same time his dissertation is due, Paul’s course of action is not quite as trivial!
