A sharply written drama unfolds as a seasoned, intellectual couple, George and Martha, host a young pair, Nick and Honey, for a late-night gathering. As alcohol flows, the two couples find themselves entangled in a series of increasingly intense verbal sparring matches. Beneath the playful banter lies a deeply unhappy marriage and a struggle for power, as long-held resentments and painful truths are exposed throughout the evening. The night descends into a chaotic exploration of disillusionment and despair.
