The film opens with the meeting between Tom (Dempsey) and Hannah (Monaghan) during his senior year at college. Ten years later, they're best friends but their relationship is strictly platonic. In fact, Hannah may be the only woman in New York City with whom Tom has not slept. He has sex with a different woman almost every night (and never the same one twice in any week - that's one of many rules he lives by), then regales Hannah with stories of his conquests. He then reveals to his generic male posse that he has the perfect life: variety in the bedroom and companionship with Hannah in other areas of his life. The stability of his existence is shaken, however, when she goes on a six-week business trip to Scotland. While she's there, he realizes his feelings are more than friendly and vows to tell her upon her return. Unfortunately for him, when she shows up in New York, she has a bloke (Kevin McKidd) in tow. This man, who apparently has so few flaws that Superman would be envious, is named Colin and is her fiancé. She surprises Tom by asking that he be her "Maid" of Honor. Since he has a better chance to destroy the wedding from the inside than from a distant position, he agrees.....
