Frank Darbo is a hapless fry cook. When his wife Sarah falls off the wagon and dumps him for Jock, a drug dealer, Frank tries to get her back by reporting her kidnapped, grabbing her from Jock's car, and wailing for her to return. After watching Christian TV and having a vision, he becomes a superhero to fight evil. He sews a costume, finds a weapon (a pipe wrench) and looks for crimes to stop. He has problems: his wrench inflicts real injury, so the cops want him for being a vigilante, his sense of boundaries is flawed, and Jock's gang has guns. Libby, a clerk at a comics store, becomes his sidekick, and it's time to go save Sarah. What chance do they have?
