“PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) start a fight club as a way to lose their virginities to cheerleaders. Their bizarre plan works. The fight club gains traction and soon the most popular girls in school are beating each other up in the name of self-defense. But PJ and Josie find themselves in over their heads and in need of a way out before their plan is exposed.”

Galitzine plays the role of football player Jeff who is described in the trailer as “psychotic.” He is one of the “tops” who is in for a challenge as the bottoms train hard to fight back. In a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly, Seligman shared that they “felt like queer women hadn’t gotten there due from a teen sex comedy.”
