After a crazy night in Vegas, Abby and Travis wake up as accidental newlyweds. Travis receives a call from Benny, who previously tried to con Abby into settling her father's debts to him by playing poker. He warns them not to leave town to avoid settling their debt to him.
Abby and Travis, along with their friends Shepley and America, take a helicopter to a resort in Gatito, Mexico for their honeymoon. They are greeted by their host, Sancho and a mariachi band.
At dinner, Abby presents Travis with a point-based pros and cons list for getting their marriage annulled. During this dinner he pretends to be sick to watch the NBA finals with Shepley until she catches them.
When the power at the resort goes out, Abby reveals that she has always wanted to live in Paris, upsetting Travis. They reconcile via pool sex. The next day, Travis finds Abby juggling with a shirtless Manuel, the local priest in training. He is enraged and they fight until they reach the beach. There, Travis is hit on by topless women, prompting Abby to remove her bikini top and causing him to get into a fight with mutliple other beach goers. The couple ends up in Mexican jail, where they are bailed out by Sancho.
Benny is notified that Abby and Travis are in Mexico and suggests to his boyfriend Darius that they go down to Mexico to settle the debt. However, Darius leaves Benny.
Travis confesses always wanting a bachelor party, so his brothers fly down to Mexico to join the group. During the party, the same two women who had flirted with Travis topless, answer Abby's FaceTime call to his phone again topless. Abby feels prompted to seek revenge.
Abby and America are spending the night at the house of a women they met that day at the spa, who also turns out to be the mother of Parker Hayes, who she had dated briefly in college. Abby crawls into Parker's bed in an attempt to take a selfie with him while he is asleep. In the morning, Travis finds Abby in bed with Parker and a fight ensues. This leads the couple to counseling with Manuel where Travis walks out.
On her way to speak with Travis, Abby runs into Benny and they engage in a physical fight. He explains he is in Mexico to try and reconcile with Darius, not to threaten Travis and Abby. They return to the resort and make peace. Travis and Abby then hold a wedding reception at the resort and agree to no longer keep track of points in their marriage.
