A group of friends (Zach, Ryan, Clay, and Justin) are hanging out in their friend Jake's garage as the summer after their high school graduation comes to a close. It dawns on them that their friend Daulton, upon his departure for college, will most likely never come back to visit them, seeing as their town of Peak Valley is basically a dead end. Knowing that this could be their last week together with him, they take it upon themselves to persuade him to change his mind and stay. With the help of some other local kids like Stan, the guy who can get you anything, RJ, the reigning King of the Hill champion, Johnny, the guy who throws the best parties, and Baker, the crazy old Vietnam veteran that lives in the woods, they might just convince Daulton to stay.
As a housewife, wife and manager of a family business, Anne Stadler has everything under control. So the wedding of her only daughter Lisette should be a fantastic event, as she herself was not allowed to experience it. With Elan Anne organizes in the contemplative Black Forest village a social event of the first order, with church blessing, many guests and a big stag party. But in the middle of the preparations, she caught her godfather Gerd in the family-owned sawmill at the fling. When finally Arno Freywald appears, father of the groom Daniel and impostor, the cards are shuffled.
