Seth Weinstein boards a plane to Florida, still amazed that Tina agreed to marry him. She seems completely out of his league, but somehow their destination wedding is actually happening. The Groom Posse already pulled an airport prank, which Seth survived. He figures the worst is behind him now. Seth could not be more wrong. Over the next few hours, he and his friends crash into a world of chaos involving rioters, Russian criminals, furious strippers, and a massive pimp. They also encounter a desperate Haitian refugee fleeing dangerous men with her two children, plus an eleven foot albino python called Blossom. The wedding is still two days away. What started as smooth sailing turns into the Titanic, and Seth keeps sinking deeper. Gunfire erupts, high speed chases begin, and complete mayhem takes over. Some violent men will die, unlikely heroes will emerge, and many lives will transform forever, especially Seth's.
