A comedic coming-of-age story about an anxious man-child learning responsibility through an absurd night driving sex workers around Los Angeles.

Guy Carter, an insecure expectant father unable to find work in his field, accepts a job driving hookers around Los Angeles. One long and crazy evening proves to our hero that he is, in fact, up to the task of fatherhood.
