Brief Synopsis:
On the heels of a harsh break-up, downtrodden Jim and his brash best friend Dance plan a weekend getaway in a free test drive auto from a local dealership. When they find an Aston Martin roadster has been mistakenly delivered to that dealership, Dance convinces the owner’s attractive daughter Sarah to let them have that vehicle for the weekend.
Two witless crooks Eddie and Stiff are set to perform a drop for the Mob. Jim and Dance roll up in the same Aston Martin the crooks are waiting for and it is mistaken for the Mob vehicle. After the illicit bag is discovered, Sarah becomes their unwilling passenger as Jim and Dance’s weekend fun turns into a true getaway mission. Eddie and Stiff are after the bag, the Mob is after Eddie and Stiff and an angry luxury car dealer wants his Aston Martin back. Jim, Dance and Sarah will have to outrun them all and still return the Aston Martin by 9:00 am Monday morning unscratched.
