Kaboom is a science fiction story centered on the sexual awakening of a group of college students. Smith (Thomas Dekker) is an 18-year-old film student who identifies sexually as "undeclared" with a strong sexual appetite. His best friend Stella (Haley Bennett), a lesbian, is every bit as eager to obtain new partners. Smith begins having recurring dreams featuring two beautiful women, one dark and one with red hair. The women from his dreams begin appearing in his waking life, leading Smith to wonder whether he has discovered a potentially world altering conspiracy, or is just dealing with the consequences of hallucinogenic cookies he ate at a party.
