After troubled teen Noah (Ethan Drew) nearly gets caught stealing a top-secret gadget from some big city thugs, he barely escapes by hiding in a summer camp run by the eccentric Falco (Christopher Lloyd) and counselors Jake (Corbin Bleu) and Selena (Amanda Leighton). While Noah tries to blend in with the rest of the rowdy campers, his crooked partners show up to steal the classified item, now in Noah’s possession. Following a series of wacky and zany events complete with home-made booby traps, will Noah be able to escape the goons and learn something along the way?
