A group of friends, including Michael Delaney (Jerry O’Connell), Kyle Brenner (Jake Busey), and Steve (Horatio Sanz), gather before a friend’s wedding. They make a pact to invest in a fund that will be inherited by the last bachelor among them. Years later, Michael accompanies Steve and his girlfriend to Las Vegas. After a misunderstanding where Michael mistakenly thinks she wants him to say “I love you,” she breaks up with him. Heartbroken, Michael goes on a reckless gambling spree, guided by a mysterious redhead. His luck turns disastrous, leaving him in massive debt to the casino.
When summoned by the casino’s pit boss, Carlos (Bill Maher), Michael learns the severity of his situation. Realizing only he and Kyle remain eligible for the fund, which has grown significantly, Michael devises a plan. Discovering Kyle’s wealth and arrogance, Michael decides to sabotage him. He learns that Kyle has only ever loved one woman, Natalie (Shannon Elizabeth), whom he met at Tricia’s (Jaime Pressly) sister’s wedding.
Michael seeks help from Steve and Tricia to locate Natalie, unaware that she is an undercover police detective. When Michael approaches her, he is mistakenly arrested for solicitation. During interrogation, he reveals his motives and is eventually released. Michael’s desperate scheme to claim the fund takes unexpected turns as he navigates his tangled situation.
