Humanity’s last new year’s eve
New year’s eve at “The Islands” condos. An aging countess’s party is crashed by the soccer team from her gigolo’s town. While dressing for a dinner party, the wealthy Guilia discovers her husband’s affair with her best friend and vows revenge. Next door, a family prepares their vintage Dodge for a drive through the streets. A call girl ties up a lawyer while, unbeknownst to him, three men await the right moment to break into his office. Across the hall, a woman downs pills in a lonely suicide attempt. Two young men hide out in a bedroom smoking dope; one of them has some dynamite. As midnight approaches, each group draws closer to grotesque tragedy.
