Starring Lorenzo Henrie, Vanessa Marano, Bug Hall, Alyssa Jirrels, Jake Short, Jeff Garlin and Gregg Sulkin, the movie is a contemporary take on classic 1980s movies and follows a nerdy high school senior (Lorenzo Henrie) who, in a last-ditch effort to win over the girl of his dreams, embarks on a road trip with his best friends to see their favorite band at the biggest music festival of the year, only to discover true love in the most unexpected place.

The movie will be released in theaters and VOD on September 24.
