André, the daredevil of the clique, who has been cheating on his girlfriend - Sandra's older sister Melanie - for a long time, is abandoned by the latter. André can't get over it and now organizes the party at the lake with Markus.
Meanwhile, Dirk, a friend of Markus, is stressed about the exam. In his desperation, he asks the geek and outsider Michael Karbrüggen to help him cheat during the exam. Karbrüggen agrees on the condition that Dirk and Markus take him to the lake in order to open the bathing season with lots of alcohol and the traditional " sea smoking " of marijuana . Markus, Dirk, André, Steven, Nabil and Sascha go to the lake together with Karbrüggen in the evening, there he smokes smoke for the first time and also has his first sex.
Meanwhile, Sandra and Stone make an appointment and drive to school together at night. Stone takes Sandra up to the roof to sleep with her.
