PlotJoy, a recently jilted businesswoman, and Jack, a slacker who just got fired, are complete strangers who separately decide to go to Las Vegas to escape their troubles. They accidentally meet and, after a wild night of partying and drinking, wake up to discover they've gotten married. Agreeing that their quickie marriage was a mistake, they plan to divorce immediately. However, their plans take a sharp turn when Jack uses Joy's quarter to play a slot machine and wins a massive $3 million jackpot. Each wants the money for themselves, leading to a heated argument and legal battle.
The judge overseeing their divorce case orders them to live as a married couple for six months before he'll grant the divorce and allow them to split the lottery winnings. During this time, Joy and Jack engage in constant schemes and sabotage to make the other give up, both determined to claim the money for themselves. They also seek advice and comfort from their respective best friends, who provide additional comic relief and strategy tips. As time passes, their contentious relationship begins to evolve, and they learn unexpected lessons about trust, partnership, and what they truly value in life.
