Jessie becomes frustrated that she can't land any acting gigs, so she takes matters into her own hands by participating in a 24-hour film festival. She recruits the kids to help her direct, shoot and edit her film, but things get complicated when all the kids have their own ideas about what the film should be.

Jessie agrees to accompany Bertram to his high school reunion, so he can show his former classmates how successful he has become.
