The movie follows the exploits of a group of African-American and Latino gay male and lesbian friends. Maurice Jamal's character, Corey Brown, is about to turn 30 and he’s just lost his job. And to top all the madness, he’s been dumped by the man of his dreams. Content to wallow, Corey is pulled screaming from his sorry state by his best friends, queen diva Terry and lesbian gal pal Nikki, who arrange for a weekend trip away from New York. Joining this trio are handsome Omar, who clearly has a thing for Corey; Byron, young and full of attitude; his trick, muscle stud Tyson; and slutty friend Carlos. But when unexpected guests arrive and secrets are exposed, this raucous trip becomes anything but relaxing.
