About

After being discharged from the Army, Brian Flanagan moves back to Queens and takes a job in a bar run by Doug Coughlin, who teaches Brian the fine art of bar-tending. Brian quickly becomes a patron favorite with his flashy drink-mixing style, and Brian adopts his mentor's cynical philosophy on life and goes for the money.
Trading army fatigues for flair bottles, an ambitious bartender learns that shaking up drinks is much easier than managing the messy reality of love and ambition. This neon-soaked romp captures the seductive, dizzying rush of chasing the big dream through a haze of expensive spirits.
