The misadventures begin when Sherman (Michael Shulman), an uptight Ivy-Leaguer with an inability to stray from his well- planned "roadmap for success," finds himself hitching a ride with an eccentric and washed-up washed-up, middle-aged former athlete Palmer in an attempt to make it down to Beverly Hills in time for a career-making internship at a prestigious law firm. The two couldn't be more incompatible. Palmer is a reckless charmer with a zest for life; Sherman is an arrogant snob with a sense of entitlement. Palmer is content reliving his past; Sherman is focused solely on his future. Neither is really living in the present. The only thing this odd couple seems to share is the refusal to accept responsibility for their lives.
