Alright, buckle up and get ready to dive into the chaotic and self-absorbed world of Chick Best, a middle-aged dot.com millionaire living it up in sunny California. This guy is all about himself, and besides his impressive mansion and flashy foreign cars, his most prized possession is his trophy wife, Evelyn. She's a pro at spending his money, which, let's be honest, is running pretty damn low.
But that's not all. Chick's got another problem on his hands – his drug-addicted teenage daughter, Melissa. Despite his concerns for his family, Chick has just accepted the sorry state of his life. That is, until the day they all decide to jet off to Maui for a Christmas vacation.
And that's when things start to get really interesting. Chick's life takes a mind-boggling turn when he lays eyes on Paige Ellis, who just so happens to emerge from the hotel swimming pool. It's love at first sight for Chick, although the feeling isn't exactly mutual. See, Paige is pretty content being married to someone else. But does Chick let that stop him? Absolutely not.
Driven by his all-consuming obsession, Chick goes full-on stalker mode and ends up at Paige's house. And here's where things really take a dark turn – he accidentally runs over and kills her husband. Yeah, you heard that right. Chick's life spirals out of control faster than you can say "calamity," and everything he holds dear starts to crumble before his eyes.
Now, the real question is: Will Paige figure out the truth about Chick before it's too late? Oh boy, you better believe there's a wild ride ahead.
