Plot: Blondie (Grace Van Dien), Sandy (Madison Pettis), Ginger (Abigail Cowen) and Cookie (Zoe Levin) each drag a dead body into beds. They then join their leader, Abraham Browning (Toby Kebbell), outside of the house. Each of the girls puts their hands on Abraham. He then sets fire to the house. They calmly walk away as the house is fully engulfed in flames. They get into a white van and drive away.

Pam Zito (Radha Mitchell) is trying to get her kids Joey (Walker Scobell) and Beth (Hannah Kepple) ready to spend the summer at their lake house. Beth’s best friend Sofia (Isabel May) arrives to join the family, which is news to Pam. Tim Zito (Matthew Fox), the father of the family, enters the house and makes it clear that he wants to get out onto the road before Fourth of July weekend traffic gets too bad. 

Once they are on the road, Tim excitedly talks about the new SUV he is driving. As they pull off of the highway and toward the lake, Tim begins fiddling with the radio to try to get it to play his satellite radio station. While distracted by the radio, Tim almost crashes into the white van. Enraged, Abraham begins following the Zito SUV. After a while, Joey points out to his parents that the van has been following them since the near-accident. Tim speeds up, and sure enough the van speeds up as well to keep pace. Tim abruptly turns off of the road and into the parking lot of a gas station. Abraham stops the van and tells the girls to remember the license plate number of the SUV. Abraham then drives on as the Zito family watches nervously.

The Zito family finally makes it to their lake house. The neighboring small town is getting ready for their annual fireworks show over the lake. Beth and Sofia are quick to change into their bikinis and head out to get some sun by the water. Tim tries to convince Joey to help him carry in all the luggage, but he goes off to ogle at the sight of Sofia in her bikini. Pam begins making lunch for everyone.

Meanwhile, Abraham has Blondie and Ginger go into the DMV office to find out where the owner of the SUV lives. They flirt with the clerk, convincing him to give them the name and address of Tim Zito. Blondie and Ginger go back out to the van where Abraham, Sandy and Cookie are waiting. They hand over the address and Abraham proceeds to drive in that direction. 

At the lake house, Joey asks Tim why they didn’t go into town to see the fireworks like the rest of the town. Tim points out that where they are on the lake, they will have the best view of the fireworks in the entire county. As the fireworks show is getting ready to start, Tim and Pam pop open a bottle of wine and sit out on the deck. Joey has gone inside to play video games while Beth and Sofia are still out by the water.

Abraham and the girls pull their van up into the driveway of the Zito lake house. Pam goes inside to coax Joey into coming outside to see the fireworks. Through the windows, she notices the white van in the driveway. She immediately goes out to tell Tim that the van from earlier is outside. He thinks she’s just playing a joke. Meanwhile, Blondie, Ginger, Sandy and Cookie approach Beth and Sofia. Abraham goes around to the side of the house and cuts the power to the house. Joey becomes angry that his video game is no longer working and finally joins his parents on the deck, assuming that they were the ones to turn off the power to get him to join them. Tim insists they didn’t turn off any power - he frankly isn’t sure how to do that.

Down by the water, Abraham’s girls offer Beth and Sofia a joint. Beth accepts while Sofia politely declines. Instead of handing over a joint though, Cookie and Sandy tackle Beth into the water and proceed to drown her. Sofia tries to help, but Ginger and Blondie hold her back as the bangs of the fireworks drown out the screams. Sofia manages to break free and runs back toward the house. As Beth is still struggling, Ginger and Blondie help hold her under the water until she finally is dead. 

Sofia runs toward Tim, Pam and Joey, screaming that they have killed Beth. Tim and Pam don’t believe her, assuming it to be some teenager joke. Tim tells Pam and Joey that he will go down by the water to find Beth and tell her that the joke isn’t funny. While waiting on the deck, Sofia continues freaking out and insisting that four girls killed Beth. She cries and begs that everyone goes inside and locks the door. Joey and Beth become worried by Sofia’s behavior and agree to go inside with her. Once they are inside and lock the door, they find Abraham waiting for them with a gun aimed at them. He tells them to have a seat while they wait. Pam wants to know what they’ll be waiting for. Abraham says that they must wait for his girls to return before they continue with the rest of the night’s festivities.Abraham pulls out a couple lengths of rope and instructs Joey to tie up Beth and Sofia.

Tim makes it out to the lake but doesn’t see anything at first. As he walks along the shore line, he finds Blondie, Sandy, Ginger and Cookie skinny dipping in the water. They encourage him to join them. He kindly rejects the offer and asks them if they have seen his daughter Beth. They tell him they saw her head toward the house a little while ago. Tim believes this confirms that Beth and Sofia were just playing a joke on everyone and relaxes. The girls come out of the water like naked sirens and begin taking Tim’s clothes off. He half-heartedly tries to stop them, but finds himself taken with their youthful beauty. Once they have his shirt off, Ginger comes up behind him with a sword, stabbing him through his back with it. Tim falls into the water, dead and bleeding. The girls proceed to playfully bathe in the bloody lake water. 

Covered in blood and lake water, Ginger, Blondie, Sandy and Cookie approach the lake house where they find Abraham in the living room with Joey, Beth and Sofia all hog-tied to the floor. The girls inform Abraham that the father is dead. Abraham smiles at this and asks Joey and Sofia if they would like a new father and Pam if she would like a new husband. Pam spits at him. Abraham wipes the spit with his hand, then licks it up. Joey mentions that Sofia isn’t his sister. Abraham grows angry at this, chastising Blondie, Ginger, Cookie and Sandy for killing the wrong girl. They get down on their knees and beg for his forgiveness, offering to do anything he wishes to make up for their mistake to him. Blondie and Cookie begin kissing and undressing Beth while Sandy and Ginger begin kissing and undressing Sofia. Beth looks over at Joey, noticing that he has begun to wriggle free from his ropes. Beth begins to go along with Blondie and Cookie in order to give Joey time to finish breaking free and make a run for it. Abraham seems enraptured by Beth’s seeming willingness to join Blondie and Cookie in carnal pleasure. He cuts her free so that she may be more of a participant. Joey finally breaks free and runs from the room before anyone can notice. Seeing that Joey is gone now, Beth stops going along with Blondie and Cookie’s sexual acts. Sofia is still fighting against Sandy and Ginger, refusing to go along with their acts. 

Joey searches frantically for his cell phone, but finds it shattered into pieces. Joey decides to grab his baseball bat. He goes back out into the living room and hits Cookie over the face with it, knocking her out. Abraham then shoots Joey in the chest, killing him. Abraham instructs Ginger, Blondie and Sandy to start rounding up the family. Sandy and Ginger go outside to collect the bodies of Tim and Beth. Blondie drags Joey’s body into his room and tucks him into bed. As Sandy and Ginger drag the bodies of Beth and Tim through the house toward the bed rooms, Beth, seeing that he entire family has now been murdered, is resigned to her fate and gives up all hope. Once Tim and Beth have been tucked in, Abraham gives the girls a knife and watches as they take turns stabbing Pam repeatedly. The knife is then set down as Pam’s body is taken into the master bedroom and placed next to Tim’s body in bed. 

Sofia is able to get hold of the knife and use it to cut free from her ropes. She runs screaming from the house out toward the road. Cookie wakes up and brings this to Abraham’s attention. He tells her not to worry as Sofia’s presence does not currently affect their mission. With the Zito family all murdered and in their beds, Abraham and the girls exit the house. Abraham then sets fire to the house. As the house catches fire, they get into their van and begin driving away from the lake house. Sofia continues to run away from the house down the road. The headlights of the white van slowly illuminate Sofia’s frantic running in the distance. Abraham floors the gas pedal. As they reach the van’s top speed, the van violently runs over Sofia, killing her. Her blood splatters all over the front of the van. 

As dawn approaches, Abraham watches as Blondie, Ginger, Sandy and Cookie clean the blood off the van at a self-service car wash.
