Initiation follows the story of Abbey and Gemma, two first-year students at Dorset University who attempt to return to campus in 48 hours from northern France. Originally, the challenge is a secret initiation test set by the leaders of one of the university's societies that the girls want to join. However, after both agreeing that the reward is not worth the challenge, they soon realise they have to be back to enrol onto their course on Monday morning anyway, or else they will be removed from the course altogether.
