Meet Flox and Danny - childhood friends careening towards a stage when lost ambition is coming back to haunt them. Danny has just lost his job to negligence, his mother to cancer and his girlfriend to another man. Flox, meanwhile, is wallowing in the kind of job that transforms tedium into an artform. And across the Atlantic, Mallory Cinnamon, sometime star of Central Park Six, knows that fourteen of her fifteen minutes have expired. Still in her prime, her Sunset Boulevard is setting early. Via a stolen car and a first-class plane ticket, both parties flee to Paris where a chance meeting allows the past to come hurtling back at speed before they take off on an adventure that throws the humdrum of their previous lives into a frantic spin cycle.
