A dark, melancholic portrait of middle-aged disillusionment and self-destruction, where old friendships become a vehicle for confronting mortality and broken promises.

Former college friends meet up for a reunion that leads them to face the apparent disillusionment that defines their lives. After a week of excessive drug and alcohol abuse, events lead them to contemplate fulfilling a self destructive pact they made when they were young.
