Phil and Claire Foster are a married couple from New Jersey with two children. Over time, their domestic life has become predictable and routine, leaving their relationship feeling stagnant. Phil, a tax lawyer, and Claire, a realtor, lead busy lives, and even their weekly date nights have become monotonous. The couple is spurred to reignite their romance after discovering that their close friends, Brad and Haley, are divorcing to escape the monotony of married life in search of more excitement.
In an effort to break from their routine, Phil suggests taking Claire to a trendy Manhattan restaurant. However, when they arrive, they are unable to get a reservation. Impulsively, Phil takes a reservation under the name of a no-show couple, the “Tripplehorns”, despite Claire’s reservations. Their night takes a sudden turn when they are approached by two men, Collins and Armstrong, who mistake them for the real Tripplehorns and demand a flash drive that they believe the Fosters have stolen from mob boss Joe Miletto. Phil and Claire try to explain the misunderstanding, but the men, armed and threatening, don’t believe them. Under pressure, Phil falsely claims the flash drive is hidden in a boathouse in Central Park.
At the boathouse, Claire distracts Collins and Armstrong while Phil strikes them with a paddle, and the couple escapes by boat. Desperate for help, they go to a police station, but they soon discover that Collins and Armstrong are corrupt detectives on Miletto’s payroll. Realizing they can’t trust the police, Phil and Claire resolve to find the real Tripplehorns themselves. They return to the restaurant and find the phone number of the actual Tripplehorns.
Claire remembers a former client, Holbrooke Grant, a high-tech security expert and action hero. At his apartment, Grant traces the Tripplehorns’ phone to an apartment owned by a man named Thomas Felton. Collins and Armstrong arrive, but Phil and Claire escape in Grant’s Audi R8. They locate Felton, who goes by the alias “Taste”, and his wife, “Whippit”. The couple confesses that they had fled the restaurant after spotting Collins and Armstrong. Felton hands over the flash drive, which contains incriminating photos of District Attorney Frank Crenshaw with prostitutes, meant to blackmail him.
With the flash drive in hand, Phil and Claire are pursued by Collins and Armstrong, leading to a wild car chase involving a Ford Crown Victoria taxicab attached to their Audi at the bumpers. After several close calls, they crash into a river, escaping with their lives but losing the flash drive.
On the subway, Phil deduces that Felton was using the flash drive to blackmail Crenshaw. They return to Grant’s apartment, and though initially hesitant, Grant agrees to help them. Phil and Claire head to an illegal strip club that Crenshaw frequents. Claire poses as a new dancer while Phil pretends to be her pimp. After a tense encounter with Crenshaw, they confront him about the flash drive.
Just as Collins, Armstrong, and Miletto arrive, a confrontation ensues. Phil cleverly manipulates the situation by mentioning the compromising photos, leading to an argument between Crenshaw and Miletto. As tensions rise, Claire begins counting to three, a technique she uses to calm their children. At “three,” a helicopter arrives, and Detective Arroyo, along with a SWAT team, swoops in to arrest Miletto, Crenshaw, Collins, and Armstrong. Arroyo reveals that Grant had tipped her off and that Phil had been wearing a wire.
The Fosters are hailed as heroes. They share a quiet breakfast at a diner, where Phil expresses his love for Claire, stating that if he had the chance, he would marry her and have their children all over again. The film ends with the couple rekindling their passion, kissing in their front yard, and lying down to watch the sky together.
