Ray Macklin (Jeff Daniels) has it all, a great wife, cute kids, good friends and a nice, big house in the suburbs. So what in the world could he possibly have to worry about? Well everything! When his best friend has a heart attack at a neighborhood Tiki party, Ray immediately has an attack of his own panic! And as his anxiety skyrockets, so do his hilarious attempts at avoiding the Grim Reaper. But will these wacky antics actually prolong Ray's life...or cause his fed-up friends and family to do him in first? (official distributor synopsis)
