In America, the spring break is the period of the spring student holidays: wild parties, alcohol, drugs, sex. Korine tells the story of a group of girls who confuse fun in Florida with illegality, when they meet Alien (James Franco), a rapper with a penchant for crime and guns. The filming is structured around repetition: sunset, fun, murder.
