With the help of co-director Florian Kehrer, Roland Duringer adapts his stage production High Octane to the silver screen, playing four different roles in the process. The story concerns many different people dealing with alcoholism. The characters include Zorn, whose drinking is an aspect of his very angry personality; Frust, who slowly becomes aware that his alcohol fueled lifestyle is killing him; Stress, a successful businessman who sips constantly from his high-end collection of booze; and Angst, an actor who is embarrassed by photographs that captured him behaving poorly during an alcohol-filled evening.
