What happens

Outside Providence is a 1999 American teen stoner comedy film directed by Michael Corrente. Based on the 1988 novel by Peter Farrelly, the film was written by Corrente and the brothers Peter and Bobby Farrelly. The Farrellys could not direct the film due to filming There's Something About Mary. Centering on Timothy "Dildo/Dunph" Dunphy, the film is about his life of mischief, his "incentive" to attend the Cornwall Academy preparatory boarding school, and his realization that the haze in which he has lived has to give way to something that will stay with him forever. The book is based on Peter Farrelly's experience at Kent School, a prep school in Kent, Connecticut. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
