Martha: Look, sweetheart, I can drink you under any goddamn table you want...so don't worry about me! George: Martha, I gave you the prize years ago...There isn't an abomination award going that you... Martha: I swear...if you existed I'd divorce you...
When middle-aged Martha and her husband George are joined by the younger Nick and Honey for late-night drinks after a party, the stage is set for a night of drunken recriminations and revelations. Battle-lines are drawn as Martha and George drag their guests into their own private hell of a marriage.Middle-aged history professor George, and his wife Martha, are joined by another college couple. The result is an all-night drinking session that erupts into a nightmare of revelations.
