College student Bill Henham is home visiting family over the Christmas holidays. Bored with the slow pace of his hometown, he decides to spend New Year's Eve celebrating in the nearby party town Brighton, England. Bill is easy going and self-assured, and has no problem making friends and enjoying the nightlife. But when he stumbles onto an after party in a derelict building run by a gang of squatters, his affable nature rubs the wrong person the wrong way, and Bill's carefree night of reverie turns into the night from hell.
