Brit (Ashley Benson), Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Cotty (Rachel Korine) and Faith (Selena Gomez) have been best friends since grade school, trying to save enough money for spring break. Still short of cash, three of them hold up a restaurant using toy guns in order to get to Florida for two weeks of fun. After a few days of partying, the girls get arrested during a police raid and land up in jail. Bailed out by local drug dealer Alien (James Franco), they soon find themselves in over their heads when their mentor introduces them to the wonders of an addictively dangerous spring break they will never forget.
