A diciassette anni, Mercedes Ayres ha le idee ben precise in fatto di sesso: la porta della sua camera da letto è aperta solo per ragazzi alla prima esperienza. Mercedes è pronta a indirizzarli e aiutarli, e in cambio chiede solo che rendano speciale la prima volta delle loro ragazze. Che sia una prima volta perfetta, quella che Mercedes non ha avuto. Fino ad ora mantenere il segreto su ciò che accade nella sua camera da letto è stato facile. La sua impegnatissima madre è sempre fuori durante il giorno e non immagina quali siano le attività extrascolastiche della figlia, e la sua migliore amica super religiosa, Angela, non si azzarda neanche a pronunciare la parola "sesso" prima del matrimonio... Ma ci sono cose che Mercedes non ha messo in conto: non avrebbe mai potuto prevedere, ad esempio, che proprio il fidanzato di Angela venisse da lei e le chiedesse un "trattamento speciale" in cambio del silenzio, o che qualcuno fosse attratto da lei per com'è e non per ciò che sa fare a letto... Quando la sua perfetta organizzazione va in frantumi, Mercedes dovrà darsi da fare per salvare la propria reputazione e anche per capire che posto dare al suo cuore...
