Story:

21 Jump Street is the headquarters for a squad of police officers who specialize in investigations relating to young people. Each of the Jump Street personnel was selected for their ability to pass for high school or college students, allowing them to operate undercover in areas where it is difficult for regular police officers to blend in unnoticed. The plot concerns a new drug that has run rampant at a high school, and Jenko (Channing Tatum) and Schmidt (Jonah Hill) are tasked with cutting it off at the source. Dave Franco will play Eric, a high school student who also happens to be a psycho drug dealer.
