The Plot:
Kevin Spacey is Robert Axle, an eccentric inventor turned egomaniacal infomercial guru, who loses it all when one of his inventions maims thousands of customers. After eight years in a maximum security prison, Axle is ready to redeem his name and rebuild his billion-dollar empire. But first, he must convince his estranged 22-year-old daughter (Belle) to let him live with her and her quirky, over-protective roommates.
