Surviving graduation is just the first challenge for Bray (Chris Ball), Oliver (Rory J. Saper), and Stacey (Phillips), three friends determined to make it to the Summerland music festival, no matter what it takes. Embarking on a road-trip in high-spirits, there’s more than just music waiting for them at the end of the rainbow. Bray has plans to meet Shawn, a boy he met on an online dating site he’s convinced is questioning his sexuality. The problem? He’s been pretending to be Stacey, Oliver’s girlfriend, to get close to him.
The film is directed by Lankyboy, a directing duo made up of Kurtis David Harder (Shudder Original Spiral, Incontrol) and Noah Kentis.

Alongside Phillips, the cast for the film includes Rory J. Saper (Find Me In Paris, The Legend of Tarzan), Dylan Playfair (Letterkenny, Descendants 1 & 2, The Mighty Ducks), Noah Grossman (Smosh) and Chris Ball (Incontrol).
