[edit] Plot

A party becomes a metaphor for the wasted lives of a handful of young hipsters in this edgy independent drama. Syd (played by Chris Evans) awakens from the latest in a long series of drug- and booze-fueled benders when he received a phone call from a friend informing him that his ex-girlfriend London (Jessica Biel) will be moving away to California with her new boyfriend in a few days, and that a going-away party is being thrown for her that evening. Although not invited to the bash, Syd decides to attend anyway, bringing along Bateman (Jason Statham), a banker who moonlights as a cocaine dealer.

Bateman is carrying a large supply of cocaine. After arriving at the party, he and Syd install themselves in the bathroom, where they snort line after line while guzzling tequila and discussing philosophical matters regarding love, sex, and emotional pain. The private party-within-a-party is soon joined by Maya (Kelli Garner) and Mallory (Joy Bryant), who share cocaine and sympathy with Syd and Bateman. When Syd learns that London has arrived, he decides to confront her.
