What happens when two overly interconnected share houses go head-to-head in an epic, highly anticipated boardgame showdown? The miniature trophy prize and the prospect of a framed photo of the opposing house on their fridge seems trivial, but there’s more at stake. Simmering under the surface are tensions, hardcore competitiveness and unresolved conflicts. Six young adults with a myriad of quirks that make them either the perfect teammate or a recipe for disaster and hilarity ensues! When the chips are down and victory is near, everyone will do whatever it takes to win. What will be revealed?
