Max is just a battle-weary veteran of the racket. His latest -- and past -- gig is a hell of a fête, involving stuffy period costumes for its traveller, a thwarted, hyper- sensitive singer that believes he is a Gallic James Brown, and a morose, micro managing dress decided to make Max's nighttime as miserable as you can. However, why is the event bitter to survive is that Joisette, ostensible girlfriend and Max's colleague, seems to have written off him, while flirting with a younger host coolly going about her duties. It's likely to become a lengthy night... particularly when the groom's airborne serenade will get underway.
