McCarthy plays Diana, a con artist in Miami who is enjoying retail bliss, courtesy of "Sandy Bigelow Patterson" -- the I.D. that belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S in Denver.

A regular guy forced to extreme measures to clear his name and extremely bad credit, Sandy hunts down Diana in an attempt to bring her to justice himself – and quickly finds out it ain't easy to wrangle, coax or even bribe her to travel to Denver in order to get his life back on track.
