Phil (Jason Bateman) a cancer stricken man tricks his two best friends whom he hasn't seen in a long time to go on a road trip, by inviting them to a fake engagement party. This has the potential for problems because Gene (C. Thomas Howell) once stole Rob's girlfriend. Phil gets them to be friends again.
