A Story of One Man’s Quest for Redemption (and Poor Life Choices)

Gerald is a man of routine. Wake up. Sigh. Eat one (1) slice of dry toast. Scroll through feet pics for exactly 18 minutes. Survive another soul-crushing day at his accounting job, where his only personality trait is saying “Happy Monday!”

But when his only daughter (whom he briefly forgets exists) gets kidnapped, Gerald sees an opportunity—if he rescues her, maybe his ex-wife Linda will think he’s hot again. Never mind that she left him for Blade—a 6’4” gym bro with a voice so deep it can break glass and intimidate stock markets.

Armed with questionable skills and blind optimism, Gerald finally tracks down the kidnappers—only to find Blade tied to a chair. Turns out, the true villain was Linda all along.

Will Gerald rise to the occasion and reclaim his dignity?
Will he prove to his ex-wife that he’s not just a mid-tier loser?
Or will he… ask for feet pics at the worst possible moment?
