Chad in Accounting Matthew Poirier

Chad is almost 33 years old, and has been living like a somnambulist for the better part of the past five years, after he caught Gwen, the love of his life, in bed with his best friend Dave. He lives alone, hates his job, continually strikes out in his interactions with women, and doesn't really connect with anyone other than his married neighbor Miguel from across the hall, who visits when he wants to watch soccer games and get away from his wife. Things start to change though when the company he works for hires Haley, a woman who has suffered similar heartaches in her life, but isn't as affected by it as Chad is. When she rejects his attempt at courtship, he begins to see that the way he's been living-or not living-needs to change. The problem is, the agent of that change comes through a chance meeting with Lars, a rich European playboy who lives in an exclusive world of money and luxury, but is also selfish, racist, and misogynistic. Lars offers Chad a chance to quit the job he hates, and come onboard with the hedge fund he's started, but does it sound too good to be true? And is Lars really the person he should look to for inspiration as he restarts his life?
