Brief synopsis:

One For The Road is a British anti-buddy movie exploring the frailty and weakness of male bonding. A black comedy, following the lives of four men who meet on a rehabilitation course for drink drivers who have lost their licences.

Jimmy is young, ambitious and desperate to sell his late father's business; Paul has been salesman of the year three times running; Richard is a retired millionaire property developer and Mark, likable and honest, is a marijuana dependant taxi driver come part-time philosopher.

Very quickly they realise the course is the networking opportunity of a lifetime as Paul, Mark and Jimmy plot to relieve Richard of some of his wealth. However, unbeknown to them, he is savvy to their plans and is always one step ahead.

An innovative black comedy, the film pushes the boundaries of digital video technology as it follows the events of the four men on a week long course, bonding over the idiocy of Role Play, the battlefields of Paintball, nights of drinking and impotent passion, and a celebration end of course party round the pool at the millionaire's mansion.
