The film stars Justin Long, Blake Lively, Jonah Hill, Anthony Heald and Lewis Black in lead roles. The plot follows Bartleby Gaines, a high school graduate who, after being rejected by every college he applies to, concocts a plan to create a fake university with his friends to convince his parents he's moving forward with his education. As more students, also rejected from other schools, mistakenly apply to the fictional South Harmon Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.), Bartleby and his friends decide to run the school as if it were a real institution.
