Bitter rivals in high school in Wichita several years ago, Megan Miller and Alden Brown learn of their somewhat parallel lives since when they run into each other in Denver: each owns and runs a vintage toy company and is making a pitch to the same department-store executive, both now live in Seattle, and each has a family function to attend back in Wichita: the start of a series of functions for her younger sister Blair's wedding, and his father's retirement celebration. Both big events start in two days, and flights in and out of Denver are temporarily but indefinitely grounded. Despite the thought of spending confined time together, they make the decision to travel together in whatever alternate mode they can find, believing the option of not making it back to Wichita worse. Their journey ends up being a proverbial "planes, trains and automobiles" as they get into one misadventure after another largely the result of their animosity toward each other. In the process, they downgrade their expectations and hope solely to make it back for the big day, missing the intervening functions out of those misadventures. But in stopping to smell the roses, much like they promote the nature of their vintage toys, they may view their animosity toward each other, and their current competition for the store account, in a softer light.
