Plot

In the sun-soaked, palm-lined streets of Beverly Hills resides the affluent but discontented Whiteman family. Dave Whiteman, a relentless businessman, is caught in a loveless marriage with Barbara, a woman engrossed in a world of yoga, aerobics, and endless meditation. Their domestic life is further stirred by their son's sexual identity crisis and their daughter's battle with an eating disorder. Amidst their opulent Thanksgiving feast, a stark contrast to the world outside, Jerry, a down-on-his-luck vagabond with a lost dog and an empty stomach, stumbles upon their residence. In a desperate cry for help, Jerry plunges into the Whiteman's swimming pool intending to drown his sorrows away, but is unexpectedly saved by Dave. A bizarre invitation is extended, offering Jerry a temporary stay in their luxurious abode. This unwittingly triggers a whirlwind of change in the Whiteman household. The film explores how this unlikely stranger disrupts their superficial Beverly Hills lifestyle, offering an intriguing, comedic twist on the classic tale of the rich and the poor.
