Plot
Good ol' boy Randy Pearson, a can't-win entrepreneur, finds himself in debt to mobsters when his latest scheme to keep his businesses afloat goes awry. With the IRS after him as well, he seeks a helping hand from his carpal-tunneled, baton-teaching wife, Charlotte; his estranged, gay twin brother, Cecil, and Tino Armani, a mysterious self-styled prophet with a knack for high fashion, Italian cooking and clog dancing.
