Kevin Mallory's self-centered mindset and utter lack of knowledge of the world don't keep him from being picked as a vice presidential candidate, but they may keep him from converting his friendship with no-nonsense Kathie into anything resembling a romance.
His career as a grudging Customer Support Representative at the UniCast Cable Company is in jeopardy, his car has been repossessed, his finances are in the dumpster, his co-worker in the next cubicle hates him, and he's failed at every romantic quest he ever started.
His disenchanted young friend, Spike, recreates him as a cartoonish internet avatar of outrage, fulminating against the Woke and LGBTQ and other movements which he imagines are responsible for his below-average life. Mallory's brand of outrage is phenomenally successful, but his skyrocketing career is pulling him out of the orbit of the only woman in whom he has ever taken a mature interest.
