Joe Somebody is a mild-mannered, average guy who works in a company's return department. His life takes an unexpected turn when his daughter is bullied at school. To teach her about standing up for oneself, Joe invents a tough alter-ego, 'Joe Somebody,' and stages a fake fight with himself, inadvertently becoming a local celebrity and inspiring others. This newfound notoriety disrupts his quiet life and complicates his relationships, especially with his boss and a new romantic interest.
