Charlie Baileygates, a mild-mannered Rhode Island state trooper with a friendly demeanor, has always been too nice, avoiding confrontations and always putting others first. This leads to his wife leaving him for another man shortly after they have triplets, which only adds to his troubles. Over the years, the pent-up frustration from being perpetually mistreated causes Charlie to develop a split personality named Hank. Hank is everything Charlie is not: aggressive, rude, and completely uninhibited. This split personality emerges whenever Charlie is put under stress, leading to increasingly bizarre and dangerous situations.

Charlie is assigned to escort Irene Waters, a fugitive accused of a crime she claims she did not commit, back to New York. However, their journey quickly derails when Charlie's alter ego, Hank, takes a liking to Irene, complicating their mission. As they go on the run together, they encounter various law enforcement and criminal elements, all while trying to prove Irene's innocence. Charlie and Irene's relationship grows amidst the chaos, forcing Charlie to confront his issues with Hank. Their adventure becomes not just about evading capture but also about figuring out who they truly are and what they mean to each other, all while tangled in a web of corruption and deceit.
