On the eve of his bachelor party, Jeremy Jeremy Sisto learns that his fiancée, Rashida Jones Kerri, wants to call off their wedding without providing a reason. He tries to understand what caused this sudden decision. The unmarried couple returns to New Jersey to sort out their relationship. When Jeremy gets home, he hangs out with Gil Jeff Anderson and Biscuit Trevor Fehrman, his old friends who have turned breaking into other people’s homes and rearranging objects into a quirky hobby meant to freak out the homeowners. Their activities have begun to unnerved one unlucky homeowner in particular, Mr. Victim Stuart Pankin. Jeremy, Gil and Biscuit head to their local bar to talk about women and the stress of the aborted wedding. Meanwhile, Kerri and her best friend Marty go to a lesbian bar, where Marty tells her she is pregnant. The next morning, Jeremy’s Vegas friend Shane comes to visit as Biscuit and Gil host another bachelor party. The party goes off the rails when the stripper Biscuit hired arrives and reveals that she saw Kerri at the lesbian bar the night before, leading everyone to think she is in a lesbian relationship with Marty. Gil and Biscuit drag Jeremy and Shane along to mess with the house again, but Mr. Victim has grown paranoid and fires at them, grazing Jeremy’s ear. Facing his own mortality, Jeremy and the others drive to Kerri’s place to talk things through. She tells him that he took her for granted. Jeremy replies that he would do anything to have her back, just as Gil appears and says Marty is beating up Biscuit on the front lawn. Biscuit, misreading the situation, wonders if Marty and Kerri are a couple and asks Marty to be their manager. In the heat of the confrontation, they learn that Marty is pregnant and that Gil is the father. In a quiet, emotional moment, Kerri and Jeremy deliver the plane tickets they had intended for Gil and Marty’s honeymoon in Florida, hoping to give the new couple some time alone, while Kerri and Jeremy hold hands, hinting at a possible reconciliation.
