A lighthearted 90s comedy about a serial cheater facing comeuppance when his multiple girlfriends converge, built on broad humor and romantic entanglement rather than depth.

Dray is a young playboy whose only objective in life seems to be to have sex with as many girls as he can without getting caught by his girlfriend Lisa. Dray's sister Jenny and her friend Katrina plan to show him that the way he lives is wrong and organize a party in Malibu, inviting all of his girlfriends.
