Bob's brother, Jerry appears in town to promote his new motivational self-help book. Jerry's arrival creates a stir in Bob's household as he is the complete opposite of Bob, he is successful, confident, and attractive to women. Bob compares himself to Jerry, thinking he is overlooked and unappreciated. Meanwhile, Emily has a hard time accepting Jerry's philosophy. The family tries to make Jerry feel welcome and even have a celebratory dinner in his honor, but eventually, Bob begins to see through Jerry's facade and confronts him about his true nature. In the end, the brothers come to an understanding and Bob gains a newfound appreciation for his own life.
