Max has a dead end blue collar job, a crummy apartment and a drinking buddy who is more trouble than he's probably worth. What he lacks is any real hope for the future. That is until he meets a saucy redhead named Lauren. Lauren seems like the girl of his dreams but the timing could not be worse. Max finds himself wrapped up in a police investigation, juggling old girlfriends and trying not to let the best thing that's ever happened to him slip through his fingers.
