She dumped Edwin one year ago on what he refers to as Black Saturday, and in hopes of winning her back, he's spent the last twelve months trying to become famous himself. It hasn't gone well.

The three escape to France, in search of the old man's long-lost love, and as word of their hilarious adventure spreads, they become media darlings.
