When a bartender in New York hears that his ex Vicki, his one true love, has quit AA and is out drinking again, he embarks on a quest to find her. Sam and his sidekick Francis know everyone in Lower Manhattan, so even though it's December 2006, the last moment before smart phones, how hard can it be? As they trek from dive bars to gay bars to rocker bars, encountering skinheads, party promoters, underage drug dealers, and dominatrixes, Sam and Francis are always one step behind Vicki. It begins to seem like 131 different things are keeping the lovers apart. Before the night is over, Sam will have to wrestle with what he is really looking for.
