Quint (London) and Brodie Bruce (Lee), who are dumped by their girlfriends on the same day.

As they wander around the mall aimlessly, they encounter a variety of quirky characters, including Brodie's ex-girlfriend, Rene (Doherty), who works at a clothing store in the mall. T.S. and Brodie come up with a plan to win back their girlfriends, which involves staging a game show in the mall that will be broadcast on public access television.
Meanwhile, at the mall, the governor of the state is holding a press conference to announce a new pet project that will involve demolishing the mall, causing chaos and confusion among the shoppers and employees.
