Matt (played by Josh Hartnett) once had dreamy aspirations for sweet romance, but repeated failures in love have left him thoroughly disillusioned with women, those difficult and strange beings. After being cruelly dumped once more, heartbroken Matt makes an immensely heavy decision for all men – to abstain for 40 days. During this period of celibacy, Matt hopes to dedicate himself to self-improvement and ultimately become a strong and exemplary young man devoid of desires.
However, just as the abstinent lifestyle begins to invigorate him, a beautiful girl named Erica (played by Shannyn Sossamon) comes into his life. Although he is captivated by Erica, Matt does not forget his initial vow, especially with a group of friends around him eager to see him fail. Counting down the days, Matt feels that time seems to crawl by.
