Life couldn't get any worse for advertising executive Nick Beam, who has just discovered that he has been living a total lie.
But while sitting at a traffic light, in a state of shock, a fast-talking car-jacker named T-Paul leaps into Nick's car, attempting to rob him.
With nothing to lose and on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Nick turns the tables on his mugger, taking T-Paul hostage while he decides what to do.
An unlikely friendship gradually unfolds between this offbeat pair in a madcap comedy of hold-ups, high-speed chases, mistaken identities and revenge.
Tagline: When the odds are against you, sometimes the only bet is yourself.
