Sean (played by Daniel Doheny), Donnie (played by Luke Spencer Roberts), and Jeremy (played by Eduardo Franco) were supposed to go on a boy’s trip to the woods during spring break. Their plans change after Jeremy invites his sister Becky (played by Geraldine Viswanathan) and her friend Sarah (played by Sadie Calvano) on their trip. Jeremy invited his sister because he knew Sean likes her and wanted them to spend some time together so that Sean could confess his feelings. On their first night camping in the woods, after getting drunk, Jeremy cuts off his member playing with a switchblade while urinating. The group scrambles to get a signal and call to get help. The paramedics arrive and they take Jeremy and the cooler containing the member to a hospital. After a while they realize that they gave the paramedics the wrong cooler and the cooler containing Jeremy’s member is still with them.
