At their annual 1/2 New Year Party, relationships are tested among a group of friends.

The story follows a group of friends who have an annual 1/2 New Year Party. This year in particular, relationships are tested, friendships made and feelings revealed as the group bands together to send off one of their own with lots of love and compassion. After all, friends are the family you get to choose.

Inspired by classic ensemble films like "Dazed and Confused," "St. Elmo's Fire," and "Breakfast Club," 1/2 New Year is a heartfelt dramedy about redemption with a splash of raunchy humor for good measure. Every July, this LA group of friends celebrate 1/2 New Year with a blow out party. They dress up, drink champagne, have a countdown, make new resolutions, and generally take a break from the daily grind to really let loose. All in their late 20's / early 30's, each character is struggling with the transition into serious "adulting." Some are managing better than others. Tensions and frustrations hit a climax during last year's 1/2 New Year Party. One of the friends has a frightening breakdown and the accident that ensues creates a rift between the once-tight friendships. This year, the gang is getting ready for what may be the last 1/2 New Year they will ever celebrate. In the midst of a wild party, secrets are revealed, friends become lovers, couples either grow up or break up, and each character discovers a little more who they are and who they want to become.
