What event prompts Charlie to reconnect with his old friend Max?

Plot Summary


As Charlie navigates his mundane life in Florida alongside his high-maintenance wife, Nikki, and her uninvited twin sons from a previous relationship with Ted-O, he finds solace in reconnecting with an old friend (and seemingly former FBI agent) Max at their high school reunion. The weekend getaway on Max’s rented yacht serves as the perfect catalyst for Charlie to recapture his youthful essence. However, when the yacht explodes in a dramatic display of fireworks, Charlie wakes up to find himself in the midst of a shocking transformation. Max reveals that they’ve faked their own deaths and are now free to start anew. What follows is an astonishing revelation: Max isn’t an FBI agent at all, but rather a coroner who’s used two unclaimed cadavers to assume new identities - Charlie is now Dr. Ronald P. Fishman, while Max has become Butch Ryder.

Initially horrified by the audacity of this plot twist, Charlie soon comes around to the idea of a do-over after witnessing the meager turnout at his own lackluster funeral, Nikki’s reconciliation with Ted-O, and the bank’s hasty replacement of him. As they settle into their new lives in Puerto Rico, the duo stumbles upon a mysterious key hidden in Butch’s rectum, which Charlie deduces belongs to a safe deposit box in the island.

Their investigation leads them to the contents of this box, revealing a treasure trove of cash and keys to a lavish mansion complete with a sleek Ferrari. The pair quickly becomes embroiled in their new life at the mansion, befriending neighbors Dawn and Joan before sharing an unforgettable orgy with them. However, as they delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding Butch’s past, they uncover hints that the original owners of the mansion - Butch and Ronald - were likely on the run from something.

Their discovery of a photo of Ronald’s wife on Butch’s tablet prompts Charlie to question whether his new life is truly as idyllic as it seems. As tensions rise with the arrival of assassins led by The Gymnast, Max reveals that he’s not a coroner at all, but rather a guidance counselor who’s orchestrated this elaborate scheme.

As they navigate the treacherous landscape of deceit and betrayal, Charlie and Max track down Ronald’s widow Heather in Savannah, Georgia. She shares devastating news: Ronald was murdered, and they believe Butch has become entangled in criminal activity. The trio then heads to a biker bar where Ronald and Butch once hung out, gathering crucial information from Dakota that sheds light on the pair’s shady dealings.

Their investigation ultimately uncovers a tangled web of secrets surrounding Butch’s terminal illness - stage four cancer - and their desperate attempts to secure funding for an unapproved cancer treatment. With Shecky pulling the plug on funding, Butch turned to bank robbery to support their endeavors, making him a wanted man by the FBI.

As the truth about Ronald’s affair with Butch comes to light, Dakota’s revelations serve as a catalyst for chaos, culminating in the brutal slaying of Ronald at the hands of The Gymnast. The trio flees to the sanctuary of Max’s mother’s abode, only to find themselves stalked by the vengeful Becca, while Charlie becomes embroiled in a torrid affair with Heather. As they attempt to escape their pursuers, 40 Shecky’s own home is breached, leading the group to deduce that the coveted cancer treatment formula is the reason behind these calculated attacks and break-ins.

Charlie’s digital sleuthing reveals a shocking truth: Max was one of Ronald’s patients, desperate for the cure that could save his life. Furthermore, Charlie discovers that Max and Becca share a young son, and that their lives hang precariously in the balance. As tensions simmer, Charlie’s hacking prowess uncovers the dark truth behind Ronald’s murder: Trojgaard, the world’s largest chemotherapy conglomerate, was behind the plot to steal the formula and silence those who possessed it.

Meanwhile, as Shecky clings to life, he reveals that The Gymnast, still lurking in the shadows, has taken Max hostage. Charlie, grappling with his own predicament, is forced to confront the brutal reality of Heather’s betrayal: she was secretly working for Trojgaard and had orchestrated Ronald’s demise.

As the stakes reach a fever pitch, Charlie frantically attempts to contact Max, only to have The Gymnast destroy his phone and subject him to a grueling ordeal. Heather’s arrival at Shecky’s mansion brings yet another revelation: not only has she accepted a lavish sum from Trojgaard to bury the formula, but she is also responsible for Ronald’s murder.

Charlie’s desperate bid to reach Max culminates in a violent confrontation with Heather, which ultimately leads to her being subdued by Becca. As the authorities arrive on the scene, Charlie seizes the moment to exact revenge on Nikki, Ted-O, and the twins, donning a zombie disguise to wreak havoc upon his tormentors.

In the aftermath of their ordeal, Max is finally cured, and the group returns to the mansion in Puerto Rico, where they are reunited with Becca and her young son. As the curtain closes on this dark and twisted tale, Charlie, Max, and Becca have emerged victorious, but not without scars that will forever remind them of the high price paid for the elusive cancer treatment formula.
