Dark begins to develop a sexual attraction to new student Montgomery (Nathan Bexton), and the two flirt throughout the film. A scavenger hunt ensues during a night of drug taking as the trio and their various friends run amok in Los Angeles causing troubles. A subplot involving an alleged alien invasion comes to fruition when, at the end of the film, just as Dark and Montgomery are about to have sex, Montgomery explodes and a gigantic alien cockroach scurries out of the human debris.
