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.

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?
