Brad Orville has always wanted hair - lots of it, preferably thick and wavy - but he started going bald in the seventh grade. What makes it worse is the fact that his smart and charming brother Compton has a full head of gorgeous locks, still going strong as they enter middle age. But then Compton suffers a traumatic brain injury and Brad must take care of him 24/7. Yet Compton - even in his addled state - seems to somehow thrive, marrying the woman of his dreams, Peaches, while Brad turns to booze, Internet dating, and a toupee for solace. Happiness however might be a lot closer than Brad ever imagined, and it doesn't even involve fake hair.
