A raucous, affectionate comedy about two best friends navigating poverty and poor decisions through humor, chaos, and unwavering loyalty to each other.

Angela and Jessie are best friends intent on taking a wild beach trip, but when their roommate loses all of their money in a drug scam, the girls -- blissfully stoned -- go to increasingly daring and absurd lengths to get it back.
