Scarlet, now his wife and mother of their two children, has filed for divorce, forcing him to move in with his geeky, yet extremely wealthy, all-time friend, Ned Gold. He has quit his job after he is passed over for a promotion he believed he deserves, and his high-school-age kids, 19-year-old Maggie and 16-twelvemonth-old Alex, desire nothing to practise with him. Afterwards, while driving, an encounter on a span with a janitor transforms Mike dorsum into his 17-year-old cocky.
Afterward disarming Ned of his identity, Ned believes that Mike'southward transformation was caused by a mystical spirit guide who is trying to steer him on a improve path. Mike enrolls in high school posing as Mark Gold, Ned'due south son, and plans to get to college on a basketball game scholarship. Equally he befriends his bullied son and discovers that his daughter has a boyfriend, Stan, who does not respect her and frequently torments Alex, Mike comes to believe that his mission is to help them.
Through their kids, Mike spends time with Reddish, who notes his remarkable resemblance to her husband, but rationalizes it as an odd coincidence. Deciding to also endeavor and fix his relationship with Carmine, Mike begins to finish (nether the pretense of getting "volunteer credit") all of the garden projects he abandoned as an adult. He does his best to separate Stan and Maggie while also encouraging Alex to exist more than confident so he tin brand the basketball squad and go out with a girl he has a crush on named Nicole. Mike has difficulty resisting his desire for Scarlet despite the relationship's clear inappropriateness. Ned, meanwhile, begins to pursue the school's principal Jane Masterson through increasingly extravagant stunts in gild to win her affections, which she adamantly rebukes, though she agrees to a appointment after he offers to buy laptops for the school.
On their date, Jane is completely unimpressed with Ned until he drops the "sophisticated rich-guy" persona and admits he is actually a geek. Jane and then reveals her own enthusiasm for geek culture past speaking to him in Elvish, and the 2 hit it off. Mike throws a party to celebrate a basketball game win at Ned'south house while Ned is out with Jane, where he confronts Stan, who had recently dumped Maggie for non sleeping with him. Mike gets knocked out and wakes up to Maggie trying to seduce him. Mike tells his girl that he is in love with someone else and Maggie leaves, much to Mike's relief. Ruddy arrives at the political party worried about her kids attending, but Mike shows her that Alex has finally managed to become together with his crush. The two have an intimate conversation where Mike, defenseless up in the moment, tries to kiss her. Disgusted, she storms off every bit Mike tries unsuccessfully to explain his truthful identity.
On the day of the courtroom hearing to finalize Scarlet and Mike'due south divorce, Mike makes one last attempt to win her back (as Mark) by reading a supposed letter from Mike. He states that although he couldn't prepare things right in the beginning of his life, it doesn't change the fact that he still loves her. After he exits, Scarlet notices that the "alphabetic character" is actually the directions to the courtroom and she begins to grow curious. As a issue, she postpones the divorce past a month. Frustrated that he could non save his spousal relationship, Mike decides to once again pursue a scholarship and move on with a new life. During a high school basketball game, Mike reveals himself to Scarlet.
