Pitka is an American raised by Indian gurus who returns to the United States to seek fame and fortune as a self-help expert. He's hired by Jane Bullard, owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, to resolve the romantic troubles of the team's star player, Darren Roanoke. Roanoke's estranged wife has started dating Los Angeles Kings player Jacques "Le Coq" Grande, which causes Roanoke's game to suffer. Pitka's task is to reconcile Roanoke with his wife so he can regain his form, leading the team to victory and breaking their long championship drought.

Pitka employs unconventional methods to counsel Roanoke, facing personal and professional challenges that lead him to question his own beliefs and practices. His quest is complicated by Grande's disruptive presence and his own comedic mishaps. Jane becomes increasingly desperate for a solution as the Leafs' performance continues to decline, putting pressure on Pitka to succeed. Along the way, Pitka works through his own insecurities, ultimately aiming to demonstrate that true happiness and success come from within.
