Sinopsis

Joe Davis's comfortable life as a humor blogger and low-level Twin Cities celebrity gets shaken up by his ex-girlfriend, Tess, and her problems at the office. Tess asks Joe for a simple favor: escort her to a swanky corporate party and make sure a jealous co-worker doesn't fold, spindle or mutilate Tess' person. Hoping to score karma points for their ugly break-up, Joe agrees. However, the party takes an ugly turn when Tess' boss does an eight-story half-gainer through a buffet table. And Tess winds up as the main suspect. With no one else to turn to, Tess asks for Joe's help. Despite being unqualified to take on any investigation more complicated than a search for his car keys, Joe agrees to the job. Armed only with sarcasm and a gaggle of idiot friends, he manages to piece together a conspiracy involving murder, fraud, adultery and, worse, office politics. But as he gets closer to the truth, Joe is left to wonder: is Tess a victim of this conspiracy? Or its mastermind? And just who's winning this break-up?
