The film is set in the summer of 1963 in South Carolina and follows the adventures of four teenage girls - Carson, Melaina, Pudge, and Luanne.
Carson is a wealthy debutante who is about to marry her affluent boyfriend, Harley. Before getting married, Carson wants to have one last wild weekend with her friends, and so the four girls head to Myrtle Beach. Melaina is a rebel who is constantly running away from her strict family, Pudge is a chubby girl who dreams of becoming a dancer, and Luanne is a perky blonde who is always on the lookout for a good time.
The girls spend their weekend flirting with boys, dancing, drinking, and having fun. They meet a group of boys who are in a band and spend a lot of time with them. During their adventures in Myrtle Beach, the girls learn a lot about themselves and their relationships. Carson realizes that she is not in love with Harley and breaks off the engagement, while Melaina confesses to Pudge that she is pregnant.
Shag captures the spirit of the 1960s and is a fun-filled journey of self-discovery. The film's soundtrack features classic songs from that era, and the costumes and scenery capture the essence of the time. Shag is an entertaining film that celebrates friendship, love, and freedom.
