Tagline: One man is about to do the unthinkable. No sex. Whatsoever. For... 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS.

Matt is obsessed with his ex-girlfriend, Nicole (Vinessa Shaw), though it's been six months since she broke up with him. His obsession makes it impossible for him to have relationships with other women. Matt confides to his brother John (Adam Trese), a priest-in-training, that he has sexual problems because of his obsession.

Realizing that Lent is about to start, Matt tells John that he's going to do without ~ auto censor ~ SPAM ALERT: Please, report this post to a moderator! 40 days and 40 nights. This, he concludes, will force him to get over Nicole and cure his problem. John warns Matt that celibacy is not easy.

Matt and his roommate, Ryan (Paulo Costanzo), are co-workers at a dot-com company in San Francisco. Ryan tells everyone about Matt's plan to do without sex, and an office pool is started, and everyone in the office gets in on it.

After about six days of being productive and happy, Matt goes out and does his laundry. At the Laundromat, he meets a very pretty girl named Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), who works for Cyber Nanny, a search engine that keeps kids from finding porn on the Internet. Matt and Erica make plans to come back and see each other next week.

Meanwhile, back at the office, the women Matt works with are trying to get him to crack: Two girls make out with each other in front of Matt while another girl (Monet Mazur) sits on a copier with her legs spread and photocopies her buttocks for Matt. Matt is strong, though, and doesn't give in to temptation.

When Matt and Erica do their laundry again, they make plans to go out on a date. Matt takes her on a bus ride all around the city, and rather than kiss her goodnight at the end of the evening, he high-fives her and falls backward off some stairs. The next day at work, Matt finds out about the office pool. Worse yet, it turns out that a guy at work set up a website about Matt and his vow of chastity. Even worse, Matt sees that it's been protected by Cyber Nanny, and realizes that Erica must know about his abstinence. He goes to her office, where he finds out that she's seen the site, and she's not too happy about it.
