Synopsis
“New Year is a coming of age comedy about death, pregnancy, and a big fucking party! The random violent murder of a gas station attendant acts as the catalyst for lovers Jason, a 23 year old student who lives at home, and Allison, an unemployed grad school graduate, to take stock of their lives, and relationship. When Allison’s high school sweetheart returns home for the holidays from his tour as a Canadian peacekeeper in the Middle East, he magnifies the unspoken gap that has grown between she and Jason. They all go head to head at an unbelievable New Years’ Eve bash full of emotion, egos, and really gross humour.”
