 Freeze Out is a comedy about one man s ridiculous and overzealous attempt to get revenge for the constant ribbing of his best friends at his weekly poker game. John s weekly poker game is a sanctuary from the horrors of living and working in Los Angeles: a ritual of jokes, beer drinking, talking movies, politics, and sex. In short, it s a good time and the max bet is 25 cents so no one is going to go broke. But something is bugging John. His friends don t respect him; any chance they get they cut him down, tell him he s boring, make him feel small. He s tired of being the butt of their jokes and he s not going to take it anymore. So he raises the stakes, trains in secret and engineers a winner-take-all Freeze Out, never realizing it might cost him his 7 best friends. What starts as an innocent night of low stakes poker becomes a ripping lampoon of friendship and a funny look at how we all lie to ourselves.
