Set in 1996, and inspired by true events, the film deliriously depicts the madness that envelops a dance troupe's post-rehearsal party after a communal punchbowl of sangria is spiked with LSD. As each dancer's psyche begins to disintegrate, a creeping paranoia gives rise to deep-seated prejudices within the group that eventually explode into outright pandemonium.
