Descendants
In the first film, Jay, along with his friends Mal, Evie and Carlos are all living on the Isle of the Lost along with the rest of the Disney villains. The four of them get told that they have been chosen to attend Auradon Prep. Mal's mother gives them the task of retrieving the Fairy Godmother's wand so that she can break down the barrier on the Isle and let all villains roam free. When they arrive in Auradon, they are greeted by Prince Ben (son of Beast and Belle) and his girlfriend Princess Audrey (daughter of Sleeping Beauty) who doesn't approve of the four villain kids. He attempts to flirt with Audrey but does not get very far.

At the end of the day, the four discuss their strategy for stealing the magic wand and try to find it using Evie's mother's magic mirror. The wand is kept at the museum and after Jay sets the alarm off from trying to steal it, the four escape and realise this means that they have to attend school the next day.

He later tries out for the Tourney team and successfully impresses the coaches with his talent, although he is told he needs to learn the rules. The coach teaches him how to work in a team and to think of them as family.

The four VK's (villain kids) decide to make a love spell using a batch of cookies to get Ben to fall in love with Mal so that she can be front row at his coronation and will have a chance to steal to the wand. Jay and Carlos take part in the Tourney tournament the next day and win their first game. Afterwards, the spell works and Ben declares his love for Mal to the entire school in a song. As time goes on, Jay starts to like his different life in Auradon and has second thoughts about stealing the wand.

At the school's family day, the four of them are allowed to talk to their parents via video chat. Jay realises that all his father wants to know is how much money he has managed to steal and does not miss him that much. At the school's family day, an argument starts between Mal and Audrey's grandmother, Queen Leah, which ends with Prince Chad (son of Cinderella) being put into a sleeping spell and the VKs deciding to continue with their plan.

During the coronation ceremony, the VK's parents are watching from their homes and are shocked when it is Jane who snatches the wand from her mother in order to change her appearance. Whilst she does this, the barrier surrounding the Isle of the Lost is broken. Mal manages to diffuse the situation by taking the wand and the four of them agree that they prefer being good rather than evil. Mal's mother then turns up and freezes everyone in time, except for the kids from the Isle. Mal finally stands up to her mother and shrinks her down to a small lizard using a spell, it is revealed that she has shrunk to the size of the love in her heart.

Once everyone has been unfrozen, they all celebrate at the after party and Jay dances with Audrey.

Descendants 2
In the second film, Jay is seen to have left his wicked ways behind him. He focuses his time on the Auradon athletics and has earned himself the role of captain on the Swords and Shields team. Whilst practicing, he meets his match in Lonnie (daughter of Mulan) but refuses to let her join the team after Chad reminds him of the rules that only boys are allowed.

When they discover that Mal has returned to the Isle of the List, Jay, Evie and Carlos agree to help King Ben bring her back to Auradon but they have to teach him how to look "like a villain". After Ben speaks to Mal, they are left wondering what to do next when they notice that Ben has been kidnapped. They then run into Harry (son of Captain Hook) and Gil (son of Gaston) who tells them that if they want to see him again Mal must go and meet Uma (daughter of Ursula).

Mal informs them that to get Ben back she must hand over Fairy Godmother's wand. Jay and Carlos agree to go back to Auradon and make a fake wand using Carlos's new 3D printer. They run into Chad who has snuck into the room again to use the printer and he questions them about what's going on. Lonnie overhears and insists on joining them on the mission.

When they return to the Isle the VKs go to meet Uma and her gang on the pirate ship. Mal hands over the wand and gets Ben in return but they do not escape before it is revealed that the wand is fake. The two groups get into a sword fight but Jay and his friends manage to get away. Back in Auradon, Jay tells the rest of his team that Lonnie will joining the Swords and Shields team, and will become team captain which is a loophole in the rules book.

At Cotillion, everyone is shocked when Ben turns up with Uma as his date and confesses that he felt a connection with her back on the Isle. Once it is revealed that he is under a spell and Mal breaks it with true love's kiss, Uma leaps into the water using her mother's seashell to transform into an octopus. After a fight with Mal who transforms into a dragon, the two stop once Ben intervenes.

Afterwards, Cotillion continues and everyone celebrates.

Descendants 3
In the third film, the VKs are visiting Auradon to pick another four kids to take back to Auradon. They pick Dizzy (daughter of Drizella), Celia (daughter of Dr. Facilier) and Squeaky and Squirmy (twin sons of Mr. Smee). They inform them they will be picking them all back up in one week.

After King Ben proposes to Mal, the group head back to the Isle of the Lost to pick up the new VKs, with Jay driving the limo. Whilst they are trying to leave, Hades tries to get through the barrier and attacks Mal whilst in dragon form. She manages to push him back in but this causes panic back in Auradon.

Meanwhile, Audrey has stolen the Queen's crown and Maleficent's scepter although noone knows that it is her just yet. Later on, Jay stumbles upon Mal with the rest of the group who has been turned into an old hag and announces that it is Audrey who is the thief. The group decide the only option is to go back to the Isle and try and retrieve Hades' ember, which is the only thing more powerful than the scepter.

After Mal has gotten the ember, the VKs head back over the bridge but are shocked when Harry and Gil manage to dive through the barrier. They are even more shocked with Uma reappears and steals the ember from Mal. The group decide to join teams when Mal agrees to let all villain kids come to Auradon if they would like and they proceed to try and stop Audrey.

It is shown that Jay and Harry have a massive fued but he is shown to develop a bond with Gil after they both admit they would like to travel the world. The group go to the castle and are involved in a fight with a dozen knights who have been brought to life by Audrey.

The boys all team up to try and find Ben and go into the forest. They encounter him but find out he has been turned into a 'beast' who also tries to attack them. Jay helps to defend Harry when he is almost hurt by Ben, and Harry thanks him. Jane (daughter of Fairy Godmother) shows up with a water pistol full of the enchanted lake water and breaks the spell on Ben.

Jay and some of the others go to the Fairy Cottage to try and find Audrey but instead find Chad, who at first was trying to help Audrey but has now been locked in a cupboard. They release him and the group continue.

After it is revealed that Mal lied and the barrier will be closed for good to avoid any more villains trying to escape, the group are turned to stone by Audrey.

Whilst frozen, Audrey is defeated by Mal and Uma but she is sent into a coma in which only Hades can revive her from. After all is back to normal, at Ben and Mal's engagement party she declares that she can only be Queen of Auradon if she is also Queen of the Isle and would like to break the barrier down once and for all. Ben agrees and everyone celebrates together. At the end Jay and Gil are shown discussing where they are going to travel to first.
