“When they put their heads together... it's a no brainer.”

Russ Richards (John Travolta), a local TV weatherman and minor celebrity, is deep in debt and running out of ways to hide it. His way out runs through Crystal (Lisa Kudrow), the station's lotto ball girl, and a scheme to rig the state lottery drawing. Nora Ephron, working from Adam Resnick's script, keeps the focus on the two of them, partners who have to trust each other a great deal more than they should.
