A cheerleader named Alison is plagued by nightmares about the upcoming all-state finals and attends a summer training camp with her teammates. When a number of deaths start occurring at the camp, Alison's nightmares turn twisted and brutal, and she begins to believe that she may be responsible for the mayhem.

After a team of cheerleaders are burned to death in a gruesome sprinkler accident, the one who got away, Tanya, returns to cheerleader camp. Joining her are an all-new squad of drop-dead-gorgeous mean girls from competing high schools who chafe under the strict rules set by Coach Paddington (Jennifer Banko). With a lustful caretaker (Ari Lehman) lurking nearby, the team struggle to get along--but soon their life depends on it! When someone in a panda costume begins killing one girl every hour, it's up to Tanya to piece together the clues before time runs out.

Mascots fight cheerleaders, all with suspicious pasts, where the winner takes all--including lives--to be on top of the pyramid.
