三个大学生路易士、瑞士和东尼在一个偶然的机缘下相遇而成为好朋友，并相约结伴到马来西亚宾城渡假，然而这次的渡假，却令他们永生难忘。这三个年轻的男孩，却在因一次放荡的行为，导致路易士被捕入狱，瑞夫和东尼必须作出抉择...Three friends share an exciting vacation in Malaysia, full of fun, drinks, women and hash. When the vacation is over, each have dreams of continuing their lives, and they all go their separate ways. One of them (Phoenix) remains on the tropical paradise to fulfill a dream of working with apes for research. Two years later, a lawyer (Heche) comes to New York and hunts down the other two friends to give some sad news. A few days after they left the island, police raided their camp and found amazingly large quantities of hash left about. Phoenix was still residing there, so he had to take the blame. He is set to be put to death in 8 days, and the only way the charges can be decreased is if the two friends come back to paradise and take their share of the responsibilty. If they do, they both will spend three years in prison. If only one does, he will spend six years behind bars...
