Neil has to decide what constitutes not cheating on his girlfriend, Nicole. Jay, with inheritance money in hand, believes he can have the pick of any girl he wants. Neil makes the decision for them to go to Malia on the isle of Crete, a popular summer tourist destination for many a Brit. To get Simon’s singularly focused mind off Carli, his three best mates decide to take him on vacation for two weeks to get some sun, sand and girls before they move onto the next chapter of their lives in the fall. Largely because they will be going away to different schools in the fall, Carli breaks up with him. Simon has finally been able to get Carli D’Amato, who he has been in love with since they were children, to be his girlfriend. Best friends Will McKenzie, Simon Cooper, Jay Cartwright and Neil Sutherland – who are not among the social outcasts, but also not cool enough to hang out with the cool kids who they aspire to be – have just graduated from their suburban London high school.
