A breezy, energetic comedy-drama about four college women on a spring break adventure in pursuit of romance and independence, mixing lighthearted fun with darker undercurrents.

Good girls Merritt, Melanie, Tuggle and Angie - all students at mid-western Penmore University - are planning on going to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for spring break to get away from the mid-western snow despite not having much money to spend once there. On the drive down, they admit their real purpose is to go where the boys are.
