They have invited several of their couple friends to Alex's parents' cabin in the woods upstate for New Year's Eve.

Yes, she is carrying his child, but it is from a rare encounter (note the mystery of condoms in his briefcase is revealed in a later scene). We follow the various groupings as they drink, smoke and snort coke. A big crisis occurs when the backgammon board is knocked over...
