As the group assembles at Michael's, their signature personalities and long-suppressed feelings quickly rise to the surface, creating a dramatically and comedically messy gathering. As Michael deals with his alcoholism and a friend's homophobia, Harold and a thunderstorm arrive at the party, shifting the night from confetti-induced revelry to a high school party game.

The remainder of the trailer lays out the rules of the game while briefly illustrating how each man takes on the challenge. The result is a night that is as sweet as it is painful as they all confront long-held feelings and truths that may ultimately threaten their bond.marks the second cinematic take on Mart Crowley's play.
