Writer-director Quentin Dupieux (aka electronic musician Mr Oizo) follows up Rubber - his eccentric 'killer-tyre' horror comedy - with this equally off-kilter dramedy...

Years after he turned his back on his hometown, burned-out major league baseball player Kenny Powers finds himself reduced to teaching Phys Ed at the the middle school he once attended. While wreaking havoc both at school and at the home of his brother Dustin (where he's crashing), Kenny plots his return to the majors.

Spurned by the big leagues and humiliated in his own hometown, Kenny Powers is heading south of the border to lick his wounds - and plot a comeback that might just land him back in the spotlight.

One year on, Kenny somehow resurrects his baseball career as the closer for the minor-league Myrtle Beach Mermen. Even as he tries to establish himself as the new King of Myrtle Beach, Kenny struggles to come to terms with growing older, both personally and professionally.

Taking place several years after he made it back to the majors only to fake his death and head home, Season 4 finds Kenny a new man... that is until a former teammate convinces Kenny to get back in the game as a "celebrity Titan" who can live the lifestyle of the rich, famous and arrogant.
