The film is a quasi-reimagining of the “Stand By Me” story … but this time it’s four girl pre-teens (Lia Barnett, Sanai Victoria, Madalen Mills, Eden Grace Redfield) that discover a dead body, while at the same time celebrating their long grade school bond right before transitioning to middle school. Instead of going to the authorities regarding their find, they decide to investigate on their own, leading to the last adventure of their summer. The cast includes Sarah Cooper, Megan Mullally, Ashley Madekwe and Lake Bell as their mothers.
