Alex Klein is a bankrupt real estate executive whose life is on a collision course. Not only do the market and his career look like a Trabant from before the fall of the Berlin Wall but he has a wife who is thriving in success; a family whose habits are driving him insane; clients with bad taste and too much money. Not to mention 14-year-old baristas who think they know the difference between highland coffee beans picked by virgins at midnight and the coffee from the local supermarket. So there's a lot getting on his nerves so much so that one day when things become real serious he can only weather the storm in his own repelling way.
