On the night before the big day, Anders attends a bachelor party that his colleague, Pierre, is in charge of organizing. Pierre, who harbors jealousy toward Anders, secretly envies his success and plans to disrupt the wedding. At the party, Pierre encourages Anders to drink heavily, secretly documents embarrassing moments, and leaves him in a compromising situation as a prank.
The next morning, Anders wakes up disoriented, finding himself naked in an elevator in a strange building with no memory of how he got there, and only a couple of hours left before his wedding. With his clothes missing and feeling confused, he realizes that something has gone horribly wrong.
