The unassuming pet photographer, Bryan Lighthouse (Dave Annable) is thrown into a serious action and romance adventure when he is forced to marry Masha Nikitin (Katharine McPhee) to pay a debt to her criminal parents against his will.

After Masha catches Bryan dancing with a hotel waitress, she storms off, as it is hinted she hates womanizers.

Feeling bad, the waitress Lani (Tia Carrere) suggests Bryan take Masha on a romantic outing, to a secret beach encased by a tropical rainforest to make it up to her.

He then finds that his psychotic assistant, Tonya (Mena Suvari), who is in love with him, has tracked him down to the resort.

When Brick finds a condom Tonya had brought on the unmade, wrecked bed, he assumes that Bryan had attempted to take Masha's virginity and hits him.

Lani calls her cousin, Ernesto (Rob Schneider) to help find Masha with his helicopter.

Deciding to rest on a beach at the edge of the village, Ernesto and Tonya kiss passionately, unconcerned of Masha's dire condition, and Lani and Bryan storm off in anger.

After eating a huge dinner and dancing and having fun, Masha and Bryan have sex for the first time.

Masha, using the distraction, grabs Brick's gun and shoots him in the back: he falls off the cliff, taking Bryan with him.

One of the songs, "Beautiful Stranger", was co-written by star McPhee and producers David and Shauna Jackson.
