Жизнь Эрла, мелкого проходимца районного масштаба, полна ошибок и неправильных решений. Сразу после выигрыша джек-пота в небольшой лотерее, его сбивает машина, и он теряет выигравший билет. В больнице на него снисходит озарение: все дело в карме и неприятности преследуют его потому, что он сам нескончаемый источник неприятностей для окружающих.
Герой решает круто изменить свою судьбу. Он хочет исправить все неправильное, что он сделал со времен своих причуд в начальной школе, когда изощренно измывался над одноклассниками и тащил все, что попадалось под руку. С этой целью он составляет подробный список своих разнокалиберных проказ и преисполняется решимости разыскать всех, кому он когда-либо сделал недоброе и компенсировать зло, чего бы это ни ему, ни когда-то от него потерпевшим ни стоило.
