LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: High school sweethearts often hold a special place in our hearts. For a lot of people, it's the most pure and emotional relationship they've ever had. While some try to maintain their bond when heading off to different colleges, the new trailer for Max's ‘Sweethearts’ shows that it doesn't always go as planned. 

In the trailer, that dropped on Thursday, October 31, two friends hatch a classic plan practiced by sexually frustrated college freshmen forever: the turkey chop. Their goal? To break up with their partners in person when they return home, is simple enough, right? Well, wrong. Of course, there's going to be loads of drama and we can't wait for this to release.
