威尔(西蒙·伯德 Simon Bird 饰)、西蒙(乔·托马斯 Joe Thomas 饰)、杰(詹姆斯·伯克利 James Buckley 饰)和尼尔(布莱克·哈里森 Blake Harrison 饰)是四个即将走出校园走上社会的高中毕业生,面对未知的全新生活,每个人的心中都有对未来的美好憧憬,然而,现实社会真的如同他们所想象的那样美好吗? 为了好好享受毕业假期,四个小伙伴决定去位于希腊的克里特岛上度假,没有了老师和家长的看管,为期两周的自由生活召唤着他们悸动的心。一连串意外的发生让“四人帮”逐渐领悟到了成长的残酷,但也正是这份残酷促使他们变得更加成熟,成熟到足以抵抗比成长还要残酷的社会生活。Best friends Will McKenzie, Simon Cooper, Jay Cartwright and Neil Sutherland - who are not among the social outcasts, but also not cool enough to hang out with the cool kids who they aspire to be - have just graduated from their suburban London high school. Simon has finally been able to get Carli D'Amato, who he has been in love with since they were children, to be his girlfriend. Largely because they will be going away to different schools in the fall, Carli breaks up with him. To get Simon's singularly focused mind off Carli, his three best mates decide to take him on vacation for two weeks to get some sun, sand and girls before they move onto the next chapter of their lives in the fall. Neil makes the decision for them to go to Malia on the isle of Crete, a popular summer tourist destination for many a Brit. Jay, with inheritance money in hand, believes he can have the pick of any girl he wants. Neil has to decide what constitutes not cheating on his girlfriend, Nicole. Will wants to add a bit of culture into the vacation. And Simon still pines for Carli, getting her off his mind being more difficult when he learns why Neil chose Malia. What starts off as a disastrous vacation has the potential to pick up when they meet fellow Brits Alison, Lucy, Jane and Lisa, who pair up with Will, Simon, Jay and Neil respectively, and with who they hang, out of circumstance, for much of their time in Malia. Will the virgin, who generally makes Alison laugh, has no chance with her as she is far out of his league, and as she is already in a serious relationship with a Greek waiter named Nicos. Jay is ashamed to be seen with self-assured Jane, because she is overweight. Neil treats Lisa like any other female with who he wants to have non-cheating "sex". And Simon may not see that Lucy really does like him despite his singular focus on Carli. All these issues are placed against the backdrop of the guys trying to get tickets for the all-day boat cruise, seen as the party of the season, and at which all their dreams - at least in their dreams - will come true.
