action

Adam Buckley and his friends are dying to join a hip college fraternity, and an entrance exam is required. But Adam and the other newcomers did not expect that the entrance exam would be a robbery. The test of courage gets completely out of hand. Shots are fired and Adam's friend Kevin is seriously injured. The students do not want to call an ambulance or the police, so that the student association cannot be linked to the attack.

The students decide to destroy the recordings from the cameras. When it comes to confrontation with the cashier, they decide to kidnap him. During the process, the student union splits into two parties: a conservative half, which strictly adheres to the rules and fights with all means to ensure that they are observed, and the other half, for whom a human life is worth more than tradition. Secretly managed to contact a doctor, who had an accident on the way to Kevin.

One mishap follows the next and soon all students have crimes to report for which they will be held accountable at the end of the film.
