Boys, Interrupted

In a serene neighborhood disrupted by pranks, four bored teens decide to film a TikTok challenge. Their harmless stunt escalates when a failed shoplifting attempt angers a grumpy store manager. Facing parental punishment, their ridiculous rescue attempts include fake emergencies and dramatic escapes, culminating in a high-stakes comedy of errors.
