Plot Summary
16-year-old Scott Andrews runs away from home with his girlfriend Nikki. His mother, Collette, visits her ex-boyfriend, lawyer Jack Lawrence, telling him that Scott is really his son, and she wants him to find Scott. Jack refuses at first but changes his mind when work keeps him overnight in San Francisco. Meanwhile, writer Dale Putley is planning suicide when he gets a phone call from Collette, of whom he is another ex, and she tells him the same story. Both men start their search with Russ, Nikki’s father.
Dale and Jack get little help from him, but it does lead to them meeting each other. Mistakenly assuming that they each have a different missing son, they think “both boys” are mixed up with Nikki. They decide to team up. Jack and Dale visit Nikki’s mother Shirley, learning that Nikki went on the road to follow rock band Sugar Ray. When she asks to see pictures of their sons, they finally discover that Collette has told them both the same story about being Scott’s father. They call her, and she confesses that she does not know which man is the father, but she begs them to find Scott.
The two agree, and they head for Sacramento, finding Scott, drunk, lovestruck and dumped by Nikki. They bring him to their hotel room, but when he awakens the next day, he is not pleased by the news that one of them might be his father nor that Nikki is following Sugar Ray. Jack leaves Dale to watch Scott, but he escapes by pouring coffee on Dale’s lap. Dale finds Jack, and they head to Reno, to Sugar Ray’s next gig. In Reno, Scott meets with Nikki and the other groupies. Bumping into two drug dealers who he scammed out of $5,000 to buy a necklace for Nikki.
