Middle aged married couple, Martha and George, invite a younger couple, biology professor Nick and his wife Honey, for a nightcap. Martha and George’s already highly charged relationship is further fueled by excessive alcohol consumption, and the young couple involuntarily becomes involved in their fights and games, mutual accusations and fierce verbal exchanges. The fact that George is an associate history professor at a university where Martha's father is the President adds an extra dimension to their relationship.
