Rick's girlfriend's father, who is also his boss, wants Rick and his daughter to travel to Rick's hometown to secure a deal that essentially involves transforming the entire town into a resort. Rick hopes to make a quick visit and then head to a secret location where he plans to propose to his girlfriend. However, it turns out that the opposition to the deal is being led by his ex-girlfriend, Lisa. To make matters worse, their car breaks down when they try to leave, leaving them stranded in the town. Slowly, Rick begins to see how negatively the changes will impact the town.
We have seen better versions of this storyline. Here, the town's residents don't actually seem that opposed to the city's changes; instead, their focus is more on Rick and Lisa getting back together. A generally anti-progress film (it fails to portray the changes as terrible enough for the story to work).
