The movie opens with Christina Walters, a 28-year-old interior designer known for her strong presence in San Francisco's dating scene. Her reputation as a master manipulator is established through the voices of her friends who share tales of her antics, suggesting she leaves a trail of broken hearts behind her.

Christina and her friend Courtney, a divorce lawyer, decide to lift the spirits of their mutual friend Jane, who recently broke up. They take Jane out to a dance club in North Beach, aiming to have a great time and possibly spark a romance for Jane.

At the club, Christina attempts to introduce Jane to Peter, a mysterious stranger. However, Peter challenges Christina's manipulative approach to love, walking away from her mid-conversation, leaving Christina embarrassed and questioning her ways.

In the ladies' room during a heartfelt conversation with Courtney, Christina reveals her feelings about Peter's abrupt departure. Though she outwardly denies any romantic interest, her friends suspect she has been affected more deeply than she admits.

The following evening, Christina unexpectedly runs into Peter at the same club again. They share drinks, during which Peter mentions his brother Roger's upcoming wedding and invites Christina and Courtney to an after-party, but she chooses not to join.

After a leisurely lunch where Christina can't stop talking about Peter, Courtney spontaneously books tickets for them to Somerset for the wedding. This decision is also to facilitate Jane reconnecting with her former flame at the ceremony.

As Christina, Courtney, and Jane drive to Somerset, they encounter a series of wild misadventures including an exploding toilet and a misunderstanding involving a motorcyclist. These comedic moments highlight their chaotic journey.

Once in Somerset, the trio finds themselves caught in the rain and decides to seek new outfits. They end up emerging from a clothing store dressed in ridiculous and poorly fitting outfits, adding humor to the unfolding events.

When they arrive at the wedding, Christina discovers that Peter is actually the groom. Their realization leads to a panicked attempt to leave, resulting in a comical and chaotic scene at the ceremony as they try to escape unnoticed.

The wedding is unexpectedly canceled, prompting Christina and Courtney to return home. Both friends find themselves back in San Francisco, where they play crucial roles in helping Jane avoid an awkward situation with her boyfriend.

Months later, Christina reflects on her life, realizing she is still searching for love. Meanwhile, Courtney appears to have found happiness with her doctor partner, contrasting their lifestyles and choices.

Driven by a desire for self-understanding and reconciliation, Peter searches for Christina, retracing their previous adventures. He ultimately seeks to confront his feelings, showing vulnerability after their tumultuous encounters.

In a surprising interview, Peter exposes the pain Christina caused him, branding her as a ruthless player. Yet, despite their rocky history, it's revealed that he still holds affection for her, complicating their past further.

In an unexpected twist, both Christina and Peter eventually find common ground, having gone through their own transformative journeys. They exchange vows and begin to create a new life together along with Jane, Courtney, and Roger.
