Taylor Peters (Matthew Broderick) is a television writer for a failing sitcom. The gig isn't exactly satisfying work, but it's the only one he could get after a struggle with alcohol and substance abuse. His beautiful and supportive wife (Maura Tierney) has never left his side, but she's at her wits end when she thinks he's started betting on the horses again. When Taylor learns that his 18-year-old niece Amanda (Brittany Snow) is living in Las Vegas, working as a prostitute, he figures the best way to redeem himself with his wife is to go to Vegas and convince his niece to go to rehab, but a trip to Sin City is not exactly the best medicine for a recovering alcoholic with a gambling problem.
