TV writer Taylor (Broderick) is a not-so-recovering alcohol, drug, and gambling addict with a failing marriage and career. In an effort to redeem himself (so he says), he heads off to Vegas to find his 20-year-old niece Amanda (Snow), an overly-perky hooker, and get her to clean up her life. Veers from pathos to comedy (and back again) with about as much control as the characters have.
