Alan Chadwick, a sophomore at a private Ivy League college in 1978 Massachusetts, is hypnotized at the start of the academic year while attending a philosophy department party. Under the exotic spell of Dr. Lisa Gibson, he travels back in time to Ancient Greece and soon finds his identity caught between past and present lives. His college's production of Plato's Symposium only complicates matters, plunging Alan and his closest friends, Todd and Ginnie, into the psychological abyss, along with his philosophy professor, Tabor Schubert, who becomes the focus of Alan's obsession with Socrates.
