When Scottish undertaker Richard (DAVID TENNANT) is smitten with beautiful American tourist Barbara (VINESSA SHAW), he leaves his dull life behind and follows her back to Los Angeles. Thrown in at the deep end (and unable to drive), he discovers that life in Southern California is far from straightforward. (official distributor synopsis)
