The two friends are roped into a round of drinks by a charismatic and obscenely wealthy stranger (David Koechner, "Anchorman 2") along with his mysterious wife (Sara Paxton, "The Inkeepers"). The couple engages the two friends in a series of innocent dares in exchange for money over the course of the evening, with each challenge upping the ante in both reward and boundaries.
