Set on the campus of a small college in New England, the film tells of the violent and volatile relationship associate professor of history, George and his hard-drinking and coarse noisy wife Martha, daughter of college president.
It’s 2:00 am on Sunday morning, and they returned with one of the meetings father. March announced it invited a young couple – Nick, a young, handsome, newly appointed as an instructor, and his wife Honey shy – join them for drinks. George breaks down because she did so without consulting him first, which prompted the March to launch the first of many high-profile and long tirade in which she was ridiculed and criticized him. Knowing his wife is ugly drunk, he asks her to behave when they arrived, and when the door rings, he warns her not to mention their child in their company.
Crude argue hearing in March, as the door opens, Nick and Honey – too polite, naive and decreased night invitation in the first place – just uncomfortable, and quickly got into the middle of a verbal conflict zone, where their efforts to participate in small conversation went a volley of insults between hosts. March starts flirting with Nick lewdly while his wife is meek tries to pretend she does not know what was happening.
Although the March show Honey, where a bathroom, George Test Nick verbal sparring skills, but the young man is not suitable for its owner. Realizing he and his wife became embroiled in the center of a family war, he invites them to leave, but George cajoles him to stay.
Returning to the living room one, honey innocently says George she was not aware he and Martha had a son on the verge of celebrating his 16 years. March appears in a new dress – tight-fitting trousers and blouse to identify – and when her husband makes a snide remark about the ensemble, she begins to degrade his ability as a teacher, and then sharpens her seduction of Nick, complementing his body, he developed as a defender and intercollegiate state champion in boxing, criticizing George stomach. She informed the guests about the last case, when George refused to take part in a friendly game in the open air with his father in March and put on the gloves and hit him in the jaw, knocking him into the bushes. When she tells the story of George aims his gun at the back, resulting in honey scream. He pulls the trigger, which produces an umbrella, but he tells his wife that she is dead.
Honey once again raises the issue of George and Martha’s son, which prompted the couple to join in the conversation in March trying to quickly put an end without success. To counter the George relentless comments about the boy, she tells her husband’s guests are sure the child is his own, although he is most confident. They argue about the color of the boy’s eyes, until George threatens to reveal the truth about the boy. Furious, March accuses him of being a failure of a young idealist whose plans for the future slowly deteriorating, as he realized he was not aggressive, to follow in the footsteps of his father-in-law, leaving her stuck with a flop.
Drunk and upset about the behavior of Martha, honey rushes from the room. March goes into the kitchen to make coffee, and George and Nick go out. The young man admits he is attracted to honey more money his family, than a passion, and married her only because they mistakenly believed that she was pregnant. George describes his own marriage as an endless placement and configuration, and then confessed that he thinks Nick threat.
When they invite guests to leave George insists on driving them home. In the car, the conversation returns to George and Martha’s son. They appeal to the Roadhouse and honey offers to stop dancing. Although honey and George watch Nick impressive dance with Martha, which continues to mock George and criticize his shortcomings. George disables the machine and announce the game is over. In response, in March hinted that he may have killed his parents as the main character in his unpublished, new science-fiction, prompting George to strangle March, while Nick manages to pull him away from her.
George convinces the owner to serve them one more round before closing, and believes that, having played a game Humiliate Host, the quartet must now deal Hump hostess or receive visitors. Then he tells about a group of second novel, which he allegedly wrote about a young couple from the Midwest, a beautiful teacher and his timid wife, marry, because her hysterical pregnancy, and then settle in a small town college. Embarrassed Honey has inadvertently Nick George said about their past and runs from the room with Nick in the chase.
In the parking lot, George said his wife, he can not stand, as she constantly humiliates him, and she sarcastically accuses him of having married her only for this reason. Their anger will result in a declaration of “total war”. March goes to Nick and Honey, and her husband, to follow on foot. When he comes home, he discovers, honey almost delirious and sells his wife took Nick up. Martha accuses Nick of being sexually inadequate, he blames his impotence on all alcoholic beverages he consumed. George mentions his and Martha’s son, prompting her to remember his birth and childhood, and how he almost destroyed his father. George accuses March to participate in destructive and abusive behavior of a boy who frequently ran away to avoid her sexual harassment. George then announced he received a telegram with the bad news – the boy had been killed the previous day on a country road when he turned to avoid falling into a porcupine and crashed into a tree.
According to Cindy and George that he “can not do this, and asks him not to” kill “their son, Nick suddenly realizes the truth – Martha and George could never have children for reasons that are unclear. Instead, they “play” together to provide their son and think of the situation and the stories about him. After announcing their son died, respectively, George “killed” him. (There are hints of it throughout the script, which will become clear in retrospect – for example, when George and Nick were waiting for a swing honey to finish throwing up, George quietly comments that Marta has never been pregnant. Once the viewer is aware that the child is a fantasy, the prosecution of spouses from each other’s failures, the parents take on a whole new meaning.)
A young couple goes quiet, and George and Martha are left alone as the day begins to break out. They speak softly, and in the last lines in March denied the title question with “I, George, I am.”
