Sean and Beverly end up on all-night road trip with Matt when they pick him up from a bar.

Comedy. Sean and Beverly are on an all-night road trip when they retrieve Matt from a seedy bar so that the paparazzo won't see him driving home drunk.

Sean and Beverly Lincoln are a happily married English couple, who are also the creators of a hit British TV show. Their life seems complete. That is until a hugely powerful and charismatic US network president persuades them to move to Los Angeles to recreate their show for American television. 

Sean and Beverly have to retrieve Matt from a seedy bar in the outskirts of LA so that the paparazzo waiting outside won't see him driving home drunk. What follows is an all-night road trip which takes the trio from a run-in with the paparazzo, to Matt's ex-wife's house and finally to his sons' bedroom where Matt is forced to confront the mess he's made of his life. 

The transformative evening even manages to bring Beverly and Matt closer together. The question is: for how long?
