Three friends, each miserable under the thumb of their truly awful employers—a narcissist, a manipulative seductress, and a sadistic bully—vent their frustrations over drinks. In a drunken moment of despair, they jokingly hatch a plan to murder each other's bosses. As the idea takes hold, they decide to actually go through with it, despite having no knowledge or skill for killing. Their misguided attempts to hire a hitman and carry out the murders lead to a series of catastrophic and comedic mishaps.
