Set against the backdrop of the underground music and art scenes in New York, "Margarita Happy Hour" is a film about life after the party. Five disreputable young women meet in the late afternoon hours of half-price drink specials and jabber uninhibitedly about life, libidos, and lactation. The heroine of this real life "Sex and the City" quintet is Zelda (Eleanor Hutchins), an artist and unwed mother struggling to hold on to her persona as sexy, rock star-seducing siren.
