They have always prioritized studying and extracurricular activities over socializing, believing that their hard work would guarantee their futures.
As the day of graduation approaches, they realize that their classmates, who they considered to be slackers, have also been accepted into top-tier universities. Amy and Molly are haunted by the fact that they missed out on all the fun high school experiences, while still achieving the same results as their peers.
Fueled by their newfound realization, the girls embark on a wild and hilarious journey to make up for lost time, navigating parties, drugs, and hookups, all in the span of one night. Along the way, they learn valuable lessons about friendship, honesty, and embracing life to the fullest.

It was critically acclaimed for its witty script, realistic portrayals of teenage life, and vibrant direction by Wilde.
