Character Played: Charles Highway (main character)

Synopsis:Based on Martin Amis' novel, this film tells the story of a steamy teen love affair. 19-years-old and very horny, Charles Highway has developed a new way to keep track of girls: his computer. If a babe's beautiful, he keeps her biography on disk. Take Rachel Noyce, for example. Since they met at a party, Charles has been keeping detailed notes on her. One important fact he's got on file is that Rachel already has a steady beau. But when Charles sends her a witty video requesting a date, Rachel takes the bait and they begin a lustful romance.
