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 persuades them to move to LA to recreate their show for American television.

Sean and Beverly are still reeling from the network's decision to cast Matt LeBlanc as the star of their show. But when they meet him at a swanky LA dinner party at Merc's house, Matt couldn't be more charming or flattering about their show.

Beverly can't stand Matt and the feeling is mutual. As it's all she can do not to throttle the star of her show, Beverly tells her husband "he's yours". Sean and Matt end up spending the day together, including an adventure in Las Vegas.

Sean and Beverly have to retrieve Matt from a seedy bar in the outskirts of LA so that the paparazzi 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 paparazzi to Matt's ex-wife's house and finally to his sons' bedroom.

Sean's infatuation with the lovely Pucks! actress Morning Randolph is given an opportunity to blossom when Matt invites the two of them to a charity benefit. Sean realises that his attraction to her may in fact be mutual.

Convinced that Sean is having an affair with Morning, Beverly packs a bag and leaves, intending to head back to London. However, in her distress, she is unaware that she's driving on the left hand side of the road.
