Brad (Ben Stiller) has always been a staunch idealist. Today, he and his wife Melanie (Jenna Fischer) raise their son Troy (Austin Abrams). At the same time, he is running a non-profit organization that specializes in matchmaking between people in need and capitalists to help these people get capital support. One day, Brad began to examine his life for most of his life, and suddenly felt that he was worthless. He felt that all his ideas and efforts over the years were meaningless. He could not bring substantial help to others, nor could he bring better living conditions to his family, and his college classmates of the same age have now become the backbone of various fields. Brad's entire life has been denied by himself.
