PlotHigh school football stars Shawn and Nick are always seeking ways to optimize their social lives. When they learn about an upcoming cheerleader camp that’s attended by hundreds of girls, the duo decides to abandon their usual summer football camp in favor of this new opportunity. To get accepted, they must convince their school's cheerleading squad, led by Carly, that they are serious about joining the team. Through their charm and determination, they manage to secure a spot at the camp, much to the skepticism of the other cheerleaders.
At the camp, the boys initially focus on the social opportunities, but as they spend more time with their team, they start to learn the true spirit of cheerleading. They must navigate rivalries, budding romantic interests, and their own evolving motivations for being there. As they become more engaged with the team, they realize that their initial intentions may not have been the right ones, leading to a series of realizations and changes that affect not only their standing in the squad but also their friendships and perspectives on life.
