Road Trip: Beer Pong (2009) – Full Plot Summary & Ending Explained

Read the complete plot breakdown of Road Trip: Beer Pong (2009), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Andy is egged on by his best friends to stop worrying so much about his girlfriend Katy Hartman back home and start living college life to the fullest. While trying to soak up the campus vibes, he can’t shake thoughts of Jenna, his former girlfriend who has become a beer-pong model, and he grows increasingly drawn to her again.

Motivated by the idea of chasing Jenna and her model friends to compete in a beer pong tournament, Andy and his crew hit the road. Their plans become tangled when Katy Hartman transfers to his university so she can be closer to him, raising the stakes and tension within the group.

Desperate for a sponsor, they turn to Arash, a son of a wealthy despot, hoping he’ll fund the trip. The plan backfires in a big way when the CIA detains them for questioning and dumps them in Bethesda, forcing the road trip into a chaotic detour. They steal a taxi and press on, making a pit stop at a family‑run strip club, only to run afoul of a gang of bikers.

Short on cash, they pick up a hitchhiker who ends up robbing the taxi, adding another spike of danger to their misadventure. Korkin prays for rescue as a school bus filled with beautiful girls suddenly appears. The bus is driven by Sarah, the daughter of the Reverend who founded “Chastity Until Marriage.” She quickly sees through their deception but agrees to continue the journey toward Nashville. Korkin makes it his mission to sleep with Sarah, while [Arash] takes a turn behind the wheel as the others sleep. As Sarah rests with her head on his lap, Korkin oversteps, removing her bra and attempting to kiss her.

Arash then becomes distracted by a phone call and, in a reckless moment, hits a wild boar that becomes stuck under the bus. They press on the next day and realize they are near Katy’s hometown, prompting a call to her mother’s house. The road crew soon catches up with Jenna and the Beer Pong Tour. A video Andy had intended as an anniversary gift for Katy has been posted online by Korkin, and the clip of him singing “In the Buff” goes viral, with Jenna inviting him to perform it live on stage. The clip goes live and Katy sees Andy kissing Jenna at the end of the performance.

Meanwhile, on the bus, Sarah reveals that she’s inspired by Andy’s song and starts suggesting she’ll sleep with Korkin, while Andy himself struggles with his feelings for Katy. He tries to be with Jenna but finds his heart is actually with Katy, and Jenna grants her blessing for their relationship. The complicated dynamic fuels the tension as the group continues to compete in the beer pong tournament.

The narrative builds toward a finale where emotions, loyalties, and a town’s beer pong rivalry collide. In the end, Katy arrives at the tournament and she and Andy work to mend their relationship, choosing honesty and commitment over the chaos of the road trip.
