Slackers Plot Summary
What happens in Slackers from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Devon Sawa stars as Dave Goodman, one of Holden University’s most practiced con artists, who teams up with his two best friends—Sam Schecter and Jeff Davis—to navigate the final stretch of college life by heightening their scams rather than facing the realities of study. Over nearly four years, the trio plays a careful game of chance and manipulation, turning ordinary campus moments into opportunities to hustle their way through exams and social situations. In their last semester, a chance encounter shifts the balance of power when Dave meets Angela Patton during one such exam scam, and a simple act—writing his number on her paper—soon spirals into a more complicated dynamic than any of them anticipated.
