The film begins in sunny Los Angeles where successful advertising executive David Howard (Brooks) and his wife Linda (Julie Hagerty) are on the verge of relocating to a much bigger and more expensive home, even though they are both secretly dreaming of living a life on the road, a lot like the main characters in one of their all-time favorite films, Easy Rider. So they are visibly tense and occasionally even openly blame each other for not being brave enough to follow their hearts. On the day when David is supposed to get the crucial promotion that would make the purchase of their new home possible, however, things go terribly wrong and he gets fired. Barely able to contain his anger, David then rushes into Linda's office and with a short but very passionate speech convinces her to quit her miserable job. A few days later the two sell all of their possessions, then combine their financial assets, buy a Winnebago and hit the road. For the first time in years David and Linda feel truly free and even blessed that they have been able to escape the corporate world. But when Linda foolishly loses all of their savings in a casino in Las Vegas, their American Dream very quickly evolves into an American Nightmare.
