An odd couple take to the open road. Having followed his
girlfriend out to California's Wine Country for the summer, Yale
law student Sherman finds himself dumped, and cut off from
his high-society mother's money. A stranger stranded in a
strange land, he hitches a ride with Palmer, a washed-up,
unapologetically eccentric Olympic athlete. There are detours
along the way, including the possibility of an enlightening
girlfriend, an encounter with a gun-wielding gourmet chef and
a chance for the former athlete to be on top again. A comedy
about absent fathers and damaged sons striving to find
balance between responsibility and recklessness.
