When Ben Candido and his friends, Ricky
and John, decide to post a YouTube video of themselves surfing on top of a car,
they finally feel like the somebodies they
are meant to be instead of the social nobodies that they are. Overnight, the
video becomes the talk of the school, and the boys are sure that their
self-appointed senior year of dares will live in infamy. Every dare brings an
increased risk of bodily harm, but Ben cannot deny the thrill and sense of
swagger that come with it. The stakes become even more complex when a
mysterious donor bankrolls their dares in exchange for a cut in the online
revenue the videos generate. But at what point do the risk and the reward come
at too high of a price? What does it take to stay true to one’s self in the
face of relentless pressure?
