A group of high school friends—Carl (
Chris Marquette ), Polly (Shannon Lucio ), Chauncey (Riley Smith ) and Jackson (Chris Lowell )—are about to graduate. Polly and Chauncey are dating, Carl needs a date to prom and Jackson doesn't seem to know what to do with his life. When Carl's mom becomes ill and needs $100,000 for surgery, Polly comes up with a plan: rob her dad's bank. The plan seems foolproof, and graduation is the perfect alibi; all the kids need to do is steal the keys to the bank's vault. However, things get complicated when Carl falls in love with a bank teller named Suzi and Polly cheats on Chauncey with Jackson. Through it all--including an unforeseen hostage crisis--the friends learn a lot about themselves.The movie was released theatrically on May 2, 2008 (limited release). It came out on DVD on May 13, 2008.
