What would you do for the job of your dreams? For ladder-climbing law intern Rick Robinson (Ben Gourley), it would be just about anything. A lowly intern at a prestigious law firm, Rick dreams of becoming a partner. Eager to impress, he agrees to help the firm’s top lawyer and partner, Maxwell McAllister (Rutger Hauer), a favor he can neither afford nor has time for with the bar exam a mere four days away. Utterly unprepared, Rick finds himself in charge of moving McAllister’s dearest possession, his seductive, yet strictly off-limits niece Michelle (Mila Kunis), across the country.
Thrust together on a road trip from hell, the mismatched pair encounter obstacles and colorful characters including free-spirited hitchhiker Orlick Prescott Hope (Jon Heder). As Rick watches the clock tick rapidly toward the day of his exam, his future plans begin to unravel and his life changes as he starts to realize his travel companion might be the girl of his dreams .
