Before Game 7 of the NBA finals, Dennis Rodman tells Phil Jackson he needs 48 hours in Vegas. What follows is an adventure with his skittish assistant GM that involves a bull rodeo, parachuting out of a Ferrari, and building a friendship that neither one of them ever thought was possible but will end up solving both of their problems.
In the 48 hours before the 1998 NBA Championship game, Dennis Rodman and his assistant general manager travel to Las Vegas for the experience of a lifetime.

He gets scolded by PHIL JACKSON (head coach) about needing to focus. Dennis tells him he just needs a vacation to Vegas to recharge. Phil reluctantly agrees to this, but makes him bring CHUCK REYNOLDS (27, ambitious but aggressively introverted). Chuck is the assistant to JERRY KRAUSE (59, rotten and greedy), the general manager of the team.

Phil tells Chuck to keep an eye on Dennis and stop him from doing a “Triple Lindy” at all costs. The two have 65 hours until they need to be back for game seven of the NBA championship.
