Teddy is the kind of wealthy New York socialite kid who could be seen drinking 40's, smoking blunts, and listening religiously to Wu-Tang Clan and Mobb Deep during his years in elite private school in Manhattan. At age 25, Teddy is not quite sure what do with himself and the economics of his situation have allowed him to take his time with figuring out his post college plans. However, Teddy is sure that a party at his parent's ski house in celebration of his 25th birthday will be nothing but loads of fun.
