A womanizing man-child learns how to grow up when his badass teenaged daughter walks into his life and asks for his help stopping her mom’s disastrous wedding.

SYNOPSIS:

Ricky McMann has had one goal on his mind throughout his adult life: women, lots of them, the ones that want nothing in return. Not unlike the life advice his absentee father gave him before walking out on him.

Now as a thirty-five-year-old, Ricky's half-assed plan to make something of himself as a rock band manager has turned into a ten-year stint as a barista, through every fault of his own. Not the least of which is his penchant for sexual comments to uninterested women.

When Ricky's street-smart 16-year-old daughter Tess tracks him down, thinking he’s her last hope to stop her mother's impending marriage to a terrible jerk, she's pretty disappointed with what she sees. But Ricky, who has just learned to his shock that he's about to be sued for sexual harassment, realizes that Tess is just what he needs to make a good impression on a judge.

The two of them make a deal: He'll help her stop her mother's wedding, and she'll be his character witness for the lawsuit. And the two of them set out on a road trip from hell from Los Angeles to Ashland, Oregon.

After a disastrous run-in with a female cop, getting kicked out of a bar together, and dealing with Tess's period arriving in the middle of I-5, the two of them gradually begin to bond.

But Ricky still doesn't realize he could ever be father material and decides to go back on his deal with Tess once they arrive at their destination, instead scheming with her mother to get Tess bonding with the jerk fiance.

All hell breaks loose when Ricky's process server arrives with additional charges, just as Tess is realizing she has been played and the fiance's infidelity is coming to light. Tess decides to bail and run away, leaving Ricky with the choice between saving his own skin or going after Tess.

Ricky realizes that he must stop her from setting out on the same path of emptiness he has taken through life. But in order to do so, he must sacrifice himself and face the consequences of his actions for the first time.
