This tells the story of Carlos and his best friend and the friend's sister who sneaks them into a club where dinking, drugs and alternative lifestyles run rampant. Carlos attracts the attention of a gay influencer there which leads to perks and more access at the club, but also causes problems with the friend. Spoiler warning: at the end of the movie it's revealed that Carlos is straight and just leading the gays on to get what he wants while his best friend comes out as gay and they patch up their friendship. The movie was all right, but there were some unrelated subplots that really slowed it down and added nothing. The best friend only had a few appearances, but I feel that if they had focused more on the friendship it would have been a much better movie.
