[edit] Plot

The film follows Charlie Baileygates, a Rhode Island State Police trooper who has been taken advantage of by people throughout most of his life; even after marriage, his wife, Layla, cheats on him with a black dwarf limo driver who, like Layla, is a member of Mensa. Layla eventually runs off with the limo driver and leaves Charlie to raise three highly intelligent but profanity-spewing biracial sons, the products of Layla's adulterous affair with the limo driver. The relationship leaves Charlie unable to handle confontation, letting himself be abused by others. After some time, his anger builds up and Charlie develops a rude and violent split personality named Hank. Believing that Charlie needs a vacation, the force tells him to escort an attractive woman named Irene Waters to Massena, New York. When some hitmen arrive with a contract on Irene's life, Charlie (and Hank) are called on to save her.
