Four best friends, who are about to go their separate ways for the summer, find a magical pair of jeans that fit on each girl perfectly, despite their difference in shape and size. They make a pact to share the pants over the summer by mailing them to each other. The pants become a symbol of their summer experiences and the strong bonds of their friendships.
