In a small Texas town during 1976, it is the last day of school at Robert E. Lee High School. This film follows a group of teens on that special day and does a good job of reflecting the mood of that era. A new freshman class coming in is being hazed, and the seniors are raising hell. In the midst of the humiliations, football star Pink (Jason London) saves entering freshman Mitch (Wiley Wiggins) from a thrashing by seniors. The day passes, and the students end up at a wild keg party in the woods.
