A group of tabloid crazed, celebrity obsessed upper end high schoolers begin getting thrills by breaking into cars in ritzy Beverly Hills neighborhoods and get the brazen, somewhat inspired idea to research their favorite celebs' travel plans, google their addresses, and waltz right into their homes while they're away.
