A man is released from prison and immediately sets out to get revenge on the place-kicker whose missed field goal led to his incarceration. Needing to present a normal life to his parents, he kidnaps a young tap-dancer and forces her to pretend to be his wife for a deeply awkward and stressful visit with his dysfunctional family.
