Spring Break ’83 opens on Beverly Hills High School’s graduating class dressed in cap and gown and preparing to receive their diplomas. In the back row we find our four heroes, our lovable losers vowing to each other that next year – when they go away to college – that things will be different.
That they will become popular – making certain to cast aside the stigma of lameness that has haunted them their entire high-school careers. Their goal is to start a new chapter in their lives. But no such luck. As our four heroes get up on stage to receive their diplomas, their four arch rivals - the rich, good looking, popular, preppie kids – ambush them with a practical joke that humiliates our four heroes in front of the entire school.
After a summer of ridicule and continued persecution, our four heroes arrive at what they hope will be their sanctuary . . . a topnotch State University. Their only hope is to recreate themselves, obtain some semblance of a decent social life and have some fun. To their horror – they discover that they are attending the same college as their high school arch rivals.
In an act of underhanded treachery – their four enemies find a way to get our heroes wrongfully expelled from school. Now – kicked out of college with no friends or ideas for moving on with their lives – our four heroes realize that they have one last chance to redeem themselves and get even with their arch enemies once and for all . . . they must go to Lake Maurepas during spring break and win the Kings of the River contest and save the Cantina from being torn down by developers that want to build sky rise condominiums.
