IRA SILVER is a creature of routine. He swipes his morning coffee from nearby hotel lobbies, survives on bartering rather than spending cash, crashes funerals and conventions for free food, and lives on St. Charles Avenue alone in the home of his dying mother. But Ira's life begins to change when a mysterious stripper named Charlie follows him home and never leaves.
As the final parades of Mardi Gras fade down the streets of the Crescent City, they leave chaos strewn about the historic Garden District. But an even wilder ride is about to descend upon Ira's otherwise monotonous existence. A Spring Break visit from his three young sons by his failed marriage triggers a hilariously hectic procession of disorder and discomfort in Ira's life, culminating in criminal charges and a beatdown from a pissed-off pimp.
When Charlie turns up missing, Ira enlists the help of two unlikely allies-his oldest son Howie and his lesbian divorce lawyer Shelly-in an absurd pursuit of justice. With Ira stumbling from one dubious mishap to the next, they're running out of time to find the one person that can clear Ira's name.
