MONDAY, MARCH 2 - 3:15pm. After a disastrous prank, four teens secretly repeat their final year and attempt the impossible: become a winning rugby team before a rival student leader exposes them.
Made with the support of NZ On Air.
On the last day of senior year, the Pizza Pie Bandits -- Jay-Jay, Tomasi, Fuso, and Ina, attempt what is meant to be the ultimate prank. It backfires spectacularly, tarnishing Takamo Grammar's prestigious name in a way no one will forget. Facing expulsion and the loss of their graduation credits, Jay-Jay hatches a wild plan to save their skins: repeat their senior year, join the rugby team, and lead the school to victory against their bitter rivals, St. Cath's, in the legendary end-of-year match.
But the new year does not go as planned. No longer the cool kids, the crew are now outcasts, and only one of them knows how to play rugby. Under the tough-love guidance of their irreverent rookie coach, they endure brutal training sessions, awkward life lessons, and mounting pressure to keep their secret from their parents, who still believe they have graduated.
As the match gets moved up, tensions rise, and Dylan, the vengeful Head Boy, becomes determined to expose them. Through every misstep and hilarious mishap, the Bandits learn to rely on each other, discovering their untapped potential and redefining what it means to succeed.
This is a story of second chances, unexpected growth, and the messy, chaotic beauty of figuring things out, proving that sometimes you need to fall hard before you rise stronger.
