About the Story
While in Rome visiting his sister Hayley, Jack tries to muster up the courage to kiss Hayley’s roommate Dina before returning to London. However, they are interrupted by Jack’s roommate Greg, and after Jack and Dina awkwardly say their goodbyes, a frustrated Jack leaves with Greg.
Three years later, Jack is at Hayley’s wedding. Hayley informs Jack that Dina has come to the wedding and is newly single. After the ceremony, Jack and Dina meet for the first time in three years. The two admit that they used to ask Hayley about one another.
Marc, Hayley’s former school classmate, arrives uninvited while high on cocaine, confessing his love for Hayley. She demands that Marc leave before her husband Roberto shows up, but invites Marc to stay for the celebrations. Hayley asks Jack to drug Marc with her sleeping drops and he reluctantly agrees. Shortly after Jack places the drops into Marc’s empty champagne glass, a group of children playfully rearrange the seating order. The narrator comments on the many variations eight people can sit at a table.
The drugged glass ends up with Bryan, the “maid of honour”, who quickly drinks it all. While Jack and Dina reconnect, Marc blackmails Hayley by threatening to tell Roberto they had sex three weeks earlier. Hayley once again asks Jack to handle Marc, so Jack locks him in a cupboard. A sedated Bryan mumbles through his maid-of-honour speech, before destroying the cake.
After a guest releases Marc from the cupboard, he grabs the microphone and exposes his affair with Hayley in front of all the guests. Upset, Roberto walks out on Hayley, but when she tries to stop him, he accidentally falls over a balcony. The scene freezes as the narrator reminds the audience of how the wedding can be affected by endless seating arrangements. In fast-forward, the film depicts a number of alternate scenarios where different guests are drugged each time, all ending in mayhem.
In the last scenario, Jack is finally sat beside Dina, though he is the one that ends up drugged. Unable to regurgitate the sedative, Jack asks Bryan to put his fingers down his throat. Dina walks in on the two, much to Jack’s embarrassment. They try to move past it back at the table, but as Dina tearfully opens up about her mother’s death, Jack struggles to stay awake, upsetting her.
