    Plot summary

    [edit]

    Newcomers to Los Angeles Alex and Emily think they have found new friends when Kurt and Charlotte, an eccentric couple, invite them over to their house for a playdate between their sons. After the children fall asleep, passion and decadence ensue in an increasingly humorous and zany series of encounters.

    Kurt and Charlotte introduce a bong and the four adults get high. Soon after they get in the pool and Kurt insists on skinny dipping, which Alex is very hesitant to do for fear of exposing his small penis.

    Emily joins Charlotte on an errand to pick up more alcohol, but Charlotte stops off at a massage parlor, where she jacks off a man while Emily watches through a peephole.

    Back at the house, Emily warns Alex that Kurt and Charlotte are swingers. Alex and Emily argue about their sex life before Kurt reveals that he is sexually attracted to Alex. Slowly, the four adults begin to engage in an orgy, but their children burst into the room, the morning having arrived.

    Days later, Alex and Emily run into Kurt, Charlotte and their son at the park, and share an amiable exchange.
