A group of students from diverse backgrounds venture to a desolate island to study the great outdoor. Coordinated by Mr. Argento, the biology teacher, and Emily Longley. A TA at the university, they take off to Boris Island, located in the bay just a few miles from the city.

The nineteen-year-olds looking for "extra credit" include Johnny Vital, a thoughtful handsome romantic who falls for Emily, the "good girl" in glasses. Tim Rockston is a popular jock always carrying his trademark football; Maddy's a wild and colorfully tattooed gothic chick, Ricky Kim's a flamboyant "A" student; Q's a hip, black guy from the hood and Sylvia Janowitz is a well-endowed foreign exchange student.

After arriving, the young adults are greeted by caretakers Vincent King and his wife Mary Shelly, total film buffs. Mary is an aspiring filmmaker and has a habit of videotaping everyone and doing so for a very secret reason. Its discovered that Vincent and Mary Shelly are making a "Reality Horror Movie" and find themselves with the perfect film cast... and victims.

JT, the crusty old sea captain of the "Orca", brings the kids to the island and is summoned back to the island when Mr. Argento needs to return to retrieve the microscope he forgot. Willy, the creepy monster-like poacher, spies on the students and has issues of his own. Sherrif Stoker and his partner, Sherrif Radley, investigate and one of them unfortunately finds himself starring in the King's homemade "snuff" film.
