Rick Robinson (Benjamin Gourley) is a ladder-climbing law intern from Miami with four days until the Bar Exam. Desperate to score points with his boss, Maxwell McAllister (Rutger Hauer), he commits to a favor he can't afford. He ends up in a rundown truck headed to Los Angeles, California with his boss' possessions, his Hollywood-bound niece, Michelle (Mila Kunis), and her pet pig. Amidst hitchhikers, breakdowns, and assorted local yokels, Rick finds love, life, and maybe himself in this trans-American road trip from Hell.
