A pair of underachieving cops are sent back to a local high school to blend in and bring down a synthetic drug ring. They go undercover as brothers, living at one of the cop's parents' house, and infiltrate the high school. They discover the popular Eric is dealing the drug but not the supplier. As they get deeper into the case, they face challenges and conflicts with each other.
