Their chit-chat is interrupted by a wealthy couple mysteriously hell-bent on buying them drinks. The couple engages them in a series of innocent dares in exchange for generous amounts of money. But as the couple ups the ante, Craig and Vince will soon have to decide just how far they’re willing to go for money.
