The story follows two men who travel all the way to Germany for their own national holiday, Oktoberfest. It is there that they mingle with the wrong crowd. They soon find themselves in the middle of a “Fight Club”-esque competition, only this time with beer. Are you not sold already?
Seven contestants of the show have albums being released within the next two months.
It’s about that time in the semester when everyone gets into a routine. The excitement and anxiety of starting a new year are over. All the clubs on campus are finally getting started, and stories of the summer are dying down.
