Tim Conrad è un analista in ascesa all'interno di un'importante compagnia. Finisce, grazie a una sua proposta, al centro delle attenzioni del suo CEO Lance Fender il quale lo invita ad entrare a far parte di un cerchio ristretto: Si tratta di un gruppo ad alto livello che si diverte ad invitare periodicamente a cena degli individui ritenuti dei perfetti idioti e il vincitore sarà chi avrà presentato il più 'cretino' di tutti. Tim incontra accidentalmente un soggetto che potrebbe fare proprio al caso suo. Si tratta di Barry, esperto in tassidermia che ha come hobby quello di ricreare dei quadretti ispirati spesso ad opere d'arte utilizzando topolini mummificati. Nulla di orrorifico ma sicuramente qualcosa di molto, molto poco comune. Barry entrerà così nella vita di Tim scombinandola senza volerlo.
