SYNPOSIS: Joe is dead. Really dead. The kind of dead that makes a friend drink brown liquor, sing Boyz II Men, curse cancer, and hate crabs (both kinds). So tonight, four hours after her funeral, Joe’s childhood friends are gathering at their neighborhood bar. As they fight to drown the pain in booze, laughter, and friendship — a violent banging at the front door and an unexpected guest will challenge them to confront gut-wrenching truths. Alcohol fueled conversations around relationships, faith, influencers, and dog hotels drive this new dark comedy about overcoming grief and what it means to let go.
