A warm, character-driven comedy about a wealthy man's humbling fall into working-class life, anchored by an unlikely friendship that teaches him what actually matters.

The true story of Jimmy Adams, a V.P. of a $30 billion hedge fund, who loses his job and winds up working as a waiter at a waffle shop. Amidst the greasy madness of the 24-hour diner, Jimmy befriends Edward, an ex-con grill master who serves up hard lessons about life, finance, and grits.
