"As she explains to Garrett, she was raped in high school. And while she's worked through that trauma in therapy, she hasn't been able to orgasm with a partner in the years since. Given her trusting friendship with Garrett, she proposes that they have sex to "reprogram" her body."
"Garrett is happy to oblige. But even though Hannah enjoys being with him, she can't quite get there, so he suggests they masturbate in front of each other as an exercise in vulnerability."
"And it's a successful experiment! After that first encounter, Hannah and Garrett begin having sex and ultimately become a real couple. (Justin who?) However, their new relationship is soon tested."
"Garrett's abusive dad, Phil, sees Hannah as a liability. And after Garrett beats up Rob - who's friends with the person who assaulted Hannah and testified against her in court - Phil forces Hannah to break up with Garrett or else he'll cut off his son."
Off Campus Season 1 streams now and adapts Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus novel series, specifically The Deal. Hannah and Garrett are college students at Briar University who agree to a fake-dating arrangement: Hannah tutors Garrett, a star hockey player, to provoke envy in her crush Justin. Their pretend relationship develops real chemistry. The season follows the book’s plot and ending closely, but changes some third-act details. After Garrett passes an important exam and Justin asks Hannah out, Hannah requests one more step. She explains she was raped in high school, has worked through trauma in therapy, but cannot orgasm with a partner. She proposes sex with Garrett to “reprogram” her body, then they practice vulnerability through mutual masturbation. Their relationship later faces pressure when Garrett’s abusive father Phil forces Hannah to break up with Garrett or lose his support.
