Synopsis/Details
Andre is ready to fix any problem with his fists and his aim set on becoming a career MMA fighter. Lottie is a surfer, pretty boy, and ladies man with a reputation preceding him by 12 inches. "Gus the Bus" is the friendly, thirsty farm boy who hasn't seen real city life. Holding them together is the highly intelligent and charismatic Jake, the most serious party-goer of the lot but also the group leader and thinker - With a minor gambling problem and a large affinity for all things chemical. Friday after the finals things are off to a shitty start at the college bar as Jake reveals that his dad just got retrenched and the bank won't renew his student loan. Now he's not able to complete his double degrees in Bio-Chemical and Mechanical Engineering. Andre is all set for his first league fight this coming Sunday, but not sure if he knows how to fight sober. Jake has one chance to save his future. His chemistry professor organized a spot at a prestigious pharmacology convention, this very weekend. Brainiac developed an affordable new contraption, The JC-100, so named after its inventor Jake Carlisle. The device manually presses 100 capsules at a time and is a must-have device for any pharmacist, and most definitely a drug dealer. If only one of the big pharmacy chains would buy his device, then all his future tuition problems would be solved. Lottie and Gus enter the bar and line up Jake's biggest vice - The tequilas. The spirits lift quickly as the spirits go down and the arms become long and flexible. We follow the Friday "warm up" with a visit to the liquor store, as well as to their dealer buddy, Kite aka His Highness. A smoking pre-party backyard BBQ with hotties Jax and Kris, where stories about sexual misadventures, combined with the dry wit of their super-gay, housemate, Ferrel, will leave you howling with laughter. On to an upmarket house party with more than 100 college kids tearing up the place. Our heroes' social underdog status at the "rich bitch" party ensures a series of great laughs, social commentary, and physical clashes. The cops hit the party in the early hours of the morning. Through the swarm of fleeing college kids, witty weed dealers, Izzy and Bizzy, run from the cops and dump their stash through an open window of Jake's panel van. Detective Mike Winston is a big-wig narc with an appetite for the quick buck. Winston and his partner, Mackie's side hustle is buying search warrants and hitting down hard on upmarket parties. They discover Izzy's stash in Jake's van and blackmail our foursome for a large "admission of guilt". Suddenly, ordinary kids find themselves in an extraordinary situation. With no proof of innocence, for fear of their parents and being expelled from college, Jake desperately looks for a solution. With inside info from Kite, they succeed in intercepting an Ecstasy haul of a notorious drug lord. Courtesy of the JC-100, they replace the drugs with 1000 dodgy capsules in the hopes that no one would ever know. Now all they have to do is convert the pills into cash. One night, one big underground party. Like the rave at the old, abandoned mental hospital where Andre is working security this weekend. Andre gets them and the drugs into the party arena and they ingeniously sell the MD capsules in record time under a banner of smoke and mirrors, kitted out in "VD Awareness Week" caps and tees, with the hard-kicking E's dished out, hidden inside their "free condom promotion." Drug lord and scumbag extraordinaire, Cat Fabrizio, his guttersnipe errand boy, Solly, and muscle for hire, Lawrence have been turning the town upside down looking for the brass-balled boys who dared to rip them off. In a thrilling cat-and-mouse game, our heroes navigate the criminal underworld, cleverly pitting the cops and the drug boss against each other. In the end, they outsmart both parties, escaping scott-free, with a substantial profit, all while never stopping the festivities.
