Tyler Cruise arrives at a house with flowers. He knocks on the door and sees Lauren Phillips. "I have a special delivery from AT Gardens for a Mrs. Phillips!" he announces. She asks who the flowers are from and when Tyler gives her husband's name, she starts fuming. Lauren leads Tyler inside where a bunch of Lauren's friends (Katie Morgan, Dee Williams, Syren De Mer, Caitlin Bell) are. The friends are intrigued as they all start eyeing up Tyler with lust. What has he gotten himself in the middle of? Elias Cash, a geeky teen, is hanging out in his living room. His day's about to get OVERLOADED with excitement. Elias is surprised when there's a knock at the door. He opens the door to reveal his neighbor, Katie Morgan. She claims that Elias' parents told her that she could use the pool while they're away. Elias smiles and welcomes Katie into his home. What Elias doesn't know, however, is that Katie has brought all her MILF friends with her! Things are about to get A LOT more crowded.
