The show revolves around the on- and off-campus exploits of seven students who are connected through their study group at Greendale Community College.

Jeffrey Tobias "Jeff" Winger (Joel McHale), is a sardonic, quick-witted ex-lawyer of Welsh descent attending Greendale Community College.

Jeff was once a highly successful defense attorney with the law firm Hamish, Hamish, and Hamlin. For over six years, he specialized in juvenile and traffic offenses, as well as DUI/DWA/DUID cases. During this period, in 2002 he successfully defended Ian Duncan from a DUI by comparing his accuser to 9/11, and they developed a friendship. After a successful case in which he defended a stripper named Mysti, the Colorado Bar Association began scrutinizing his background. His rival and friend Alan Connor then betrayed him by sending the CBA an incriminating email, revealing that Jeff did not receive a bachelor's degree from Columbia University but, in fact, got one that was "less than legitimate" and "better than real" from the country of Colombia. He strikes a deal with the bar in order to prevent him from being disbarred, on the condition that he graduate from an existing college with an actual degree. While brainstorming the right college to attend, he ate at a frozen-yogurt restaurant, and overheard a conversation elucidating the ease of graduation from Greendale Community College. Remembering that Ian Duncan was a professor there, Jeff decided to attend, hoping that Duncan would help him graduate as quickly as possible.
