He one day encounters mysterious drifter J-Man (Walken) at a bar, who encourages him to ruin Nick's life. Though Nick is more than content to share with Tim, Tim becomes increasingly jealous. As it happens, it is a huge success, and Nick promptly becomes rich, building a massive mansion right across the street from Tim. Tim doesn't think it will make any money, so he does not invest.

Tim Dingman (Stiller) and Nick Vanderpark (Black) are best friends working white-collar jobs.
