When Lenny and his wife, Amanda, adopt a baby, Lenny realizes that his son is a genius and becomes obsessed with finding the boy's biological mother in hopes that she will be brilliant too. But when he learns that Max's mother is Linda Ash, a kindhearted prostitute and porn star, Lenny is determined to reform her immoral lifestyle. A Greek chorus chimes in to relate the plot to Greek mythology in this quirky comedy.

Lenny’s frantic search for a genius lineage hits a wall when he discovers his brilliant son's biological mother is a sex worker. This neurosis-driven comedy finds humor in a man's desperate, misguided attempt to curate a perfect pedigree through social reform.
