Двое лучших друзей Кайл и Майк едут на велосипедах среди гористых склонов французского юга. Майку, который профессионально занимается этим спортом, велопрогулка даётся без усилий, что не скажешь о Кайле, для которого эта вылазка становится настоящим испытанием. Однако он не унывает и даже рад, что лучший друг взял его с собой. Во-первых, это отличная возможность проводить больше времени вместе, да к тому же он совсем не прочь подтянуться перед грядущей свадьбой с любимой девушкой. Весь романтичный настрой портит невзначай брошенная фраза Майка, что они с Авой спали и не только до её знакомства с Кайлом. Эта новость становится поворотным моментом в отношении лучших друзей.
