Martin and three of his friends - all weary high school teachers - embark on an experiment to test a theory that maintaining a slight state of alcohol intoxication will open their minds to the world around them, diminishing problems and increasing their creativity. Initial results are positive, and the men`s little project turns into a genuine academic study. Both their classes and their results continue to improve, and the group feels alive again! As the units are knocked back, some of the participants see further improvement and others go off the rails. It becomes increasingly clear that while alcohol may have fuelled great results in world history, some bold acts carry consequences.
