Buffy is hesitant about celebrating her birthday due to all the trauma and drama she has experienced recently, but eventually relents.

At the party, Buffy's friends, including Willow, Xander, Anya, Tara, and Dawn, all have a good time. However, things take a turn for the worse when a demon named Halfrek shows up uninvited. Halfrek is Anya's friend from her demon days who has a habit of granting wishes that end up having terrible consequences. Anya is uncomfortable around Halfrek and tells her that she is not welcome.

Despite being uninvited, Halfrek stays at the party, and when the group starts playing a game of Truth or Dare, things start to get out of hand.

As the night wears on, secrets are revealed and conflicts arise. Buffy must confront her feelings for Spike, Willow must deal with the consequences of her magic addiction, Xander must face his fear of commitment, and Anya must confront her past. All of their problems are compounded by the fact that they are unable to leave the house.

In the end, Buffy and her friends are forced to work together to break the spell and escape. They manage to resolve their issues and come to a greater understanding of each other.
