action
For the 21st birthday of their friend Jeff, his two comrades Casey and Miller want to persuade him to go to town for a night of partying. The hardworking Jeff tries to explain to them that he has an important job interview for a medical school the next morning, but to no avail.
The three set off and go to the first bar. There, Jeff accidentally hits a boy named Randy with a dart. Randy takes it very badly and Jeff, Casey and Miller escape from the bar. They walk on and Jeff, who is only now realizing what reaching the alcohol age limit means for him, gets drunk. After a while, Casey and Miller agree that their boyfriend has had enough and want to take him home. However, they notice a short time later that they no longer know where Jeff lives and want to ask Nicole, a girl Jeff knows and whom they met in the first bar, for advice.
They find Nicole in a nearby sorority , but quickly find out that they are in the wrong sorority. In this Sorority, which is only inhabited by Latina students, they meet two students with blindfolds who are apparently waiting for a spanking as part of their admission ritual . Miller takes the opportunity and orders the two to kiss each other, which they then do. However, the three boys fly up a short time later and are forced to flee again.
They finally find Nicole, but to their great disappointment she cannot reveal Jeff's address either. Instead, she refers Miller and Casey to their boyfriend, whom they then visit. The friend turns out to be Randy, the boy Jeff hit with a dart, and doesn't want to help them. Miller despairs and threatens Randy with a pistol that he had found in Jeff's pocket shortly before. He shoots into the air, infuriating a nearby buffalo and attacking people at random. The buffalo attacks Randy too, so Miller and Casey can look up Jeff's address on Randy's cell phone. When they arrive at the house, they find out that Randy only had Jeff's former address and that Jeff has not lived in the house for a long time. Instead, a big house party takes place there, which Casey and Miller join without further ado.
At the party they leave Jeff to two students smoking weed, who bare him, write profanities on his body and stick a teddy bear to his penis. Jeff wakes up from his delirium some time later and walks half-naked through the streets, where he is stopped and arrested by the police. Casey and Miller also leave the party and search for Jeff in the police station on campus, where they are caught in a trap by the angry Latina students. These take revenge on the two by subjecting them to a violent spanking. They also steal all of their clothing, with the exception of a sock, which Jeff and Casey wear around their penis.
After finding new clothes, they finally find Jeff in a hospital psychiatric ward. There they are told that Jeff has been in custody for 24 hours and is not allowed to leave the institution, and Miller and Casey come up with a plan to get Jeff home. They eventually throw him out the window so that he lands on a car. As if by a miracle, Jeff is unharmed and only awakened from his sleep by the fall. Instead, he grabs the car and drives off with Casey and Miller by his side. You and the police engage in a violent chase, but make it to Jeff's house a few minutes before the start of Jeff's interview. Casey and Miller shower and dress Jeff and prepare him for the interview. When Jeff's father enters the house, Jeff summons up all his courage and explains to him that he actually doesn't want to study medicine and that he only did so through pressure from him. Jeff's father is beside himself and doesn't want to accept this, which eventually leads Miller to hit him.
Three months later, Miller also improved his grades a lot and is now aiming for a university degree. The night before his job interview for university, he goes to a music festival with Jeff, Casey and Nicole, who has since become Casey's girlfriend. He celebrates exuberantly and the next morning comes to his interview with red-dyed hair and a broken leg. His interlocutor turns out to be a man they saw several times dancing alone in the streets on the night of Jeff's 21st birthday.
