When cops Schmidt and Jenko join the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover as high school students.

But, as time goes on, Schmidt and Jenko discover that high school is nothing like it was just a few years earlier -- and, what's more, they must again confront the teenage terror and anxiety they thought they had left behind.
