Brooklyn, 2016. Peter (Jordan Firstman) and his merry partygoing mates are off to the club with only two questions on their minds."What is the year's best album?"The answer seems to be a toss-up between Beyoncé's 'Lemonade' and Frank Ocean's 'Blonde'. (Even if we all know that Danny Brown's 'Atrocity Exhibition' is the clear winner, but that's by the by.)"What do we want?"The answer is, empathically, drugs. And they want them now.The club they're heading to won't be Peter's only stop of the night. He's the life of the party on New York's gay club scene, as he's launching events with his friend and business partner Sophie (Cara Delevigne). His task as a club promoter is to make sure everyone has a good time - which means overseeing that the drugs are freeflowing. If he happens to indulge along the way, even better.Despite having "never touched a vagina in (his) life", he ends up having an LSD-fanned threesome, which includes Leonora (Paris Petitjean), a British "innit, babes?" tourist.There goes that gay gold star.“A decade-ish later,” Peter is still hitting the clubs. He's older but not wiser. He's still selling drugs and can't seem to go out without getting fucked up.
