Handsome and broke, Vikram (played by Ashutosh Gowariker, future director of the Oscar-nominated LAGAAN: ONCE UPON A TIME IN INDIA) arrives from Bombay to find his college plans have fallen through. Exploring exotic San Francisco, he falls for Sue (Heidi Carpenter), a feisty, bohemian artist. With his visa running out, Vikram resorts to desperate measures to stay in the country—including a hilariously bungled burglary and an impromptu curbside wedding.
