‘Tadpole’ is the childhood nickname of Oscar Grubman, a very intelligent 15-year-old who speaks French, reads Voltaire, and is bored with the immature, thoughtless girls at the fancy-pants boarding school he attends. On the train home from Chauncey Academy for the Thanksgiving weekend, Oscar confides in his best friend Charlie that he has a plan for this vacation - he will win the heart of his true love. But there is one major problem. Oscar's true love is his stepmother Eve. She is a biologist; his father Stanley is a history professor at Columbia. They are wealthy and erudite, and so are their friends. High class, however, doesn't stop Eve's best friend Diane, a chiropractor, from seducing Oscar…
