Show plot summary (may contain spoilers)

Humiliated before the eyes of his young daughter at the company's parking lot, timid single father Joe painfully realises that he is no match for his co-worker and office bully Mark. However, as bruised Joe rapidly sinks into depression, much to everyone's surprise, he decides to get even. Now, it's up to former B-movie star and martial arts instructor Chuck to help Joe get in shape and, perhaps, save what's left of his crushed male ego. Before long, the rumours of a rematch start spreading like wildfire, and suddenly, a new Mr Popularity emerges. But is Joe up to the task? Above all, will his colleagues root for the underdog?
