杰克-坎贝尔本是一位典型的华尔街花花公子，一向过着自由自在、快快乐乐的单身贵族生活。然而杰克那潇洒、快节奏的生活方式在一个圣诞雪夜竟被彻底的打破了。这一天，他无意之中撞见一帮正在抢劫杂货店的劫匪，出于自卫的本能，他十分英勇地与劫匪展开了一场博斗，赶走了歹徒，着实地表现了一番。但当他第二天醒来时，却发现自己睡在了位于新泽西郊外的一间卧室里，身边躺着凯特(利奥尼饰)，她是杰克以前为了追求事业而抛弃的大学女友。更为奇怪的是他从前的单身贵族生活已荡然无存。他不得不磕磕绊绊地开始进入他的新角色，很快他对既是一个深情的丈夫，又是两个孩子的父亲这一角色找到了感觉，而且慢慢有了一种从未有过的充实感。现在杰克发现自己正处在了一个人生的十字路口，因为他必须在充满活力的单身生活和他所爱的女人之间做出选择。
