Sofia Coppola directs this drama, based on real events, about a group of celebrity-obsessed teens who rob the homes of their idols in order to emulate their lifestyles. Bored living a life of relative obscurity in L.A., high school friends Nicki (Emma Watson), Marc (Israel Broussard), Rebecca (Katie Chang), Chloe (Claire Julien) and Sam (Taissa Farmiga) decide to grab their own slice of the high life by breaking into the homes of the rich and famous. But as the group become flushed with success after amassing ever more sizeable hauls, their continuing hunger for designer labels, coupled with feelings of invincibility, inevitably sets them on a collision course with the authorities.
