A swaggering floozy with a monumental drinking problem, 40-ish Julia Harris (Swinton) staggers from one booze-fueled hookup to the next. When she's fired from her job, her ex-boyfriend Mitch (Saul Rubinek) pleads with her to slow down and attend AA meetings. When a ditzy fellow attendee, Elena (Kate del Castillo), begs Julia to help kidnap her son Tom (Aidan Gould), whom Elena is not allowed to see, it's a measure of Julia's sheer desperation that she goes along with the plan -- or what passes for a plan. Julia ends up with Elena's boy stuffed in her trunk, engineering inept ransom negotiations with the boy's never-seen industrialist grandfather and eluding some Mexican lowlifes when she literally crashes her car across the border to Tijuana.
