Parents' Guide to The After Party

In THE AFTER PARTY, an aspiring rapper named Owen (Kyle Harvey, also a rapper known as Kyle) and his best friend and manager, Jeff (Harrison Holzer), seem certain that if Owen can just rap in front of producer Rahmel, he'll get a record contract. Jeff arranges Owen's chance at an open mic night, and just as Owen is about to go on, they meet Wiz Khalifa, playing himself. He offers Owen a joint, which Owen turns down, but Jeff, wanting Owen to seem cooler, urges his friend to take a few tokes. By the time Owen takes the stage, he's stoned on some powerful weed and proceeds to projectile vomit on Wiz and fall into a seizure. Rather than react normally to such a medical emergency, people record and post videos of the event, naming Owen "Seezjaboy." The videos go viral and Owen becomes an internet joke. Embarrassed, he decides to pack up and join the Marines, just as his dad (Blair Underwood) had done years before. Not to be refused, Jeff promises he will get Owen a recording contract by Friday, setting up a seemingly impossible deadline. Jeff hustles frantically, pressing everyone he knows to get him into a secret French Montana concert. There Jeff's sister, Alicia (Shelley Hennig), the girl of Owen's dreams, is singled out by French and whisked away. Owen now pursues Alicia, losing track of Jeff, who is still pursuing the producer. They are refused entry at French's after party, so they visit a strip joint and invite several scantily clad women along and the party's door opens. One stripper's jilted ex follows them and a fight ensues, resulting in bloody wounds and bruised egos. As Owen is en route to Marine training, Jeff calls with competing record contract offers from producers who have seen another viral video of Owen spontaneously rapping and getting into a fight.
