Nick hates it when people call him a genius. Sure, he's going to Cambridge University aged 15, but he says that's just because he works hard.

When he arrives at Cambridge, he finds the work hard and socialising even harder. Until, that is, he starts to cox for the college rowing crew and all hell breaks loose.
