At 40, Bobby Burnett seems to have everything.... so what's the problem? It's that little problem of 'middle age crazy', when Bobby feels that life is passing him by. Out goes the conventional car, the three-piece suits and the wife! In comes a Porsche, cowboy boots and a Dallas
Cowboys cheerleader.... and that's when trouble really begins in this witty and acerbic comedy.
