Kyle Fisher (Jon Favreau, Swingers) has one last night to celebrate life as a single man before marrying Laura (Cameron Diaz, There’s Something About Mary), so he sets out to Vegas with four of his best buddies.

The five friends decide to bury the evidence … but fate has a way of not letting the truth stay buried for long.
