Will and Mateo invite their friends over to celebrate Will’s 30th birthday. Their friends’ (a mix of male, female, gay and straight) conversations soon cover a gambit of topics—politics, gay rights, pot laws, long distance marriages, aging and ethnic discrimination.
As the party progresses, the alcohol flows, and the piñata isn't the only thing that gets punched! And when things begin to get out of hand, a surprise guest arrives, not at all approving of the proceedings. It is also revealed that both Will and Mateo may have some secrets that threaten their relationship.
