The movie begins with Joe talking to his doctor girlfriend on the phone and receiving a message talking about a bachelor party weekend. He hangs up on the call with his girlfriend and reads their message and considers joining their fun time in Miami. At work as an advertising specialist, Joe is disappointed to learn he didn't get the promotion he was hoping for because he's too old. Determined to get his youth back, he takes their invitation to Miami seriously and books a lavish Airbnb property. Breaking the news to his longtime girlfriend on bended knee, she believes he's finally proposing to her. When he tells her marriage is not a priority for him, she becomes upset and leaves, blocking his calls. To the group's surprise, Joe shows up to Miami a much older man than expected. Still excited to reconnect with his youth, he attempts to be one of the guys and does drugs and drinks heavily, leading to ongoing chaos.
