在这部失常喜剧/动画/奇幻片中,鸡汤书籍《我该如何帮你去帮助他人》作者迈克尔·斯通（Michael Stone）来到辛辛那提，准备在一场大会上发表励志演说。这个面临中年危机的已婚男人邂逅了一位不善言辞的销售代理丽莎（Lisa），两人碰出了火花，由此展开了一段婚外情。
Michael Stone, an author that specializes in customer service, is a man who is unable to interact deeply with other people. His low sensitivity to excitement, and his lack of interest made him a man with a repetitive life on his own perspective. But, when he went on a business trip, he met a stranger - an extraordinary stranger, which slowly became a cure for his negative view on life that possibly will change his mundane life.
