[edit] Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Four boys; Bryan, Corey, Matt, and Will; embark on a road trip after spending an entire summer gaining as much money as possible. They first go to Mexico and surf, but Corey is told his Grandfather, "Grandpa G", has passed on and has left his whole estate to Corey.

While traveling to the estate in Washington, the group meets up with Matt's beautiful cousin, Jessie. Bryan is immediately infatuated with her, but she avoids him and does nothing that he wants her to do. Corey, realizing this, makes a bet with Bryan, that Jessie will not do one thing for him.

In Washington, Bryan and Jessie fight, and Jessie leaves. The four boys get to Grandpa G's house and find out that the only inheritance left is a car in very poor condition. Grampa G had lost almost everything in a marketing campaign selling snake meat. The boys get $1,500 by selling the car online and they decide to find Jessie. They go to the college where she works, University of Washington, and invite her to go with them to Alaska to snowboard. She declines them as she is in the middle of teaching a class.

Bryan waits, rose in hand, at the airport, but Jessie does not show up. Before the flight begins Bryan gets a cell phone call from Jessie who is sitting in the back row of the plane.
