Instead of returning home to Elsinore, the Prince of Denmark heads to the beach with his girlfriend Ophelia, his buddy Horatio, and his classmates Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. When Horatio finds out that the king of Denmark has died and the queen has suddenly re-married, he desperately tries to hide the news from Hamlet until the end of the vacation. But it's not the easiest task with so many other beach-goers getting in the way, including the Weird Sisters of Macbeth and the daughters of King Lear.
