This new comedy fromCinedigmcenters on Guy Carter (Jason Biggs), an award-winning graduate student of architecture. He’s got a beautiful wife and a baby on the way. The problem? He doesn’t have “his ducks in a row,” which only fuels his doubts about being a good father. Guy has been trying to find work in his field for a year with no luck. At wit’s end, his wife Anne (Jenny Mollen) finds him a job as a ‘driver’ on Craigslist. Guy shows up for the interview thinking he’ll be delivering pizzas, but quickly realizes it’s a job drivingprostitutes.
With money too scarce to turn down, he goes for it, which is where he meets Nikki (Janet Montgomery), the tough-as-nails, unapologetic sex worker, and her two hilarious andfoul-mouthedcohorts, Jaxi (Bria L. Murphy) and Fallon (Ashley Tisdale). As reluctant driver and protector – Guy is thrust into a world of rockin' women and feeble men. Over the course ofone wild and sordid night, and several ‘come-to-Jesus’ moments, Guy proves to Nikki- and himself- that he does have what it takes to be the responsible father his family deserves.
