A wedding weekend, full of the usual complications: love triangles, mischievous fairies, and a talking donkey?

Lower East Side of New York City. End of the millennium. Mark and Roger are roommates, and they can’t afford rent (again). But they don’t let that stop them from enjoying life while they can.
