Justin Frost, a twenty-something slacker, has decided that his "thing" is that he has no "thing" at all. When a small-time carnival rolls into town, he meets Galaxy, a gorgeous con artist who has more "things" going for her than anyone he has ever met. Galaxy takes Justin on a geocaching adventure, a GPS based activity that is part hike and part treasure hunt, and he quickly falls for her.

Complicating matters are his mom's (Lea Thompson) floundering relationship with a lovesick local cop (Christopher McDonald) and Galaxy's insanely jealous boyfriend Reggie (Dean Winters). In order to win her over he's going to need to step up his game, and maybe even figure out what his "thing" really is.
