Based on a young adult novel, the movie tells the story about four best friends and a magical pair of jeans.

The Sisterhood includes four virtual "sisters": Bridget, Carmen, Lena and Tibby. They find a pair of pants that fit all four, even though they are all different sizes. To keep in touch with each other during their summer vacation they pass the pants along. First they go to Lena, then Lena sends the pants to Tibby, and then Tibby sends them to Carmen, and then she sends them to Bridget, and then it goes back the other way so: Bridget, Carmen, Tibby then Lena. When each wears the pants, she gains insight into her life and is emboldened to change it.
