Alex Sheldon (Wilson) is a popular author of romantic comedy novels. The two novels he's written have touched the populace with their mix of humor and heartwarming moments. Unfortunately, he has a penchant for gambling, and has a debt of one hundred thousand dollars to the Cuban mafia. After breaking into his apartment, destroying his computer, and dangling him out a window, the mobsters give him an ultimatum: pay the money in one month, or die. Alex can't get any more advances from his publisher, which means that he has to write another bestselling novel in just thirty days.
