FIND YOUR FRIENDS
Partying is the only thing Amber, Lavinia, Zosia, Lola, and Maddy want on their girls-trip getaway to Joshua Tree. These baddies are up for booze, boys, and wild times on a party boat, but there’s also Amber’s ex aboard. When she sees him with another girl, she impulsively hooks up with cutie Tye. But after her friends leave her alone, Tye pushes past her boundaries. Fighting him off, she tries to numb the trauma by partying even harder, but her rage boils over and she violently confronts Tye. The incident gets the girl gang kicked off the boat, and on their way to the rental, they’re harassed by hostile locals. Used to shaking off chaos – It’s what they’ve always been taught to do – the girls vow to have the best time, but Amber’s experience with Tye haunts her even through the molly and vodka. To make matters worse, a group of men get aggressive with them at a concert, and new hook-ups are foiled by Amber’s flashbacks.
