To celebrate her divorce from Sean, her best friends and sister plan to give Rebecca "Becca" Egan a night on the town, but she arrives an hour early at Club Venetian to get her feet wet without their watchful eyes. However, when Mitch the hunk tries to pick her up, A.J. Daye, the brother of a friend of Becca's sister, prevents the dude from succeeding. He explains to Becca that the pick up artist was using the seven step method of the Yes Ladder on her.

A.J. and Becca bet on what the rejected guy will do next. Whereas A.J. insists he will find someone else to "git it, hit it, and forgit it; Becca says no way could he be that fickle. When he is proven right, he accepts his winnings that Becca will assist him as his wingman when he uses the Yes Ladder methodology to successfully pick up moronic females. As she performs her sidekick job, Becca learns what is inside the two heads of a male, and she plans to use this knowledge to help her win the heart of the man she loves.

This is whimsical, amusing contemporary tale that lampoons the modern singles crowd, starting from the moment A.J. explains the Yes Ladder is the pick up equivalent to the Westminster Dog Show, and keeps the humor going until the final confrontation. The key to this zany, fun story is the realism of the cast; as the lead pair and the prime secondary characters seem genuine. Fans will appreciate the antics of the bigger Wingman and her lead, as they tackle the player's game by making it their style.
