- When a broke thirty-two year old ex-lottery winner convinces his parents to rent their spare room to save from downsizing, a creepy stranger with a hidden agenda moves in.
- In senior year, Mitch Baldwin won the lottery. Three years later, he was flat broke and a laughing stock. He's been holed-up in his family home ever since. With his father retiring, talk of downsizing pushes Mitch to suggest renting a room to a mysterious stranger named Carl. When Carl upsets Mitch's routine way of life, a battle of wits turns into all-out war involving deception, humiliation, spying, and revenge. The question is, how far are these guys prepared to go? The answer: too far.
- Thirty-something Mitch Baldwin is a minor celebrity in his hometown of Millbrook, especially among the lookie-loo crowd, as the guy who won $3.5 million in the lottery when he was still in high school, only having squandered it all away by three years later, mostly on patents and trademarks of useless items and inventions, although some of his so-called high school friends, such as Huey Dorsey, took advantage of him only to disappear from his life when the money was gone. He also lost all his friends, including his high school girlfriend Lindsay Ross, for being a complete ass. Since, Mitch has lived at home being a sponge off his parents, Warren and Betty Baldwin, in not having even looked for a job. So when Warren, a financial consultant, announces that he is forced to take early retirement with only a partial pension resulting in them needing to downsize, Mitch, who will not allow them to lose his home, decides a stopgap option is for them to rent out the room where he's kept all his invention mementos. While Betty and Warren are initially reluctant, they change their minds upon meeting the first tenant applicant, Carl Lemay, and seeing that he has a wad of cash to pay the rent and more in advance. While Warren and Betty find Carl to be a more than amenable tenant otherwise, Mitch quickly comes to the conclusion that Carl coming into their lives was not by accident in Carl systematically trying not only to embarrass him at any and all cost, which includes Lindsay and Huey reentering his life, but ruin him in every respect. Mitch has to try and figure out Carl's underlying motive for doing so before Mitch does end up losing what little he has left in life.—Huggo
