But see him Charlie does, and from here on out, things get really weird. Just as Charlie - exhausted from the birth - turns to go home, he sees a strange man in mint-green golf wear at Rachel's hospital bedside, a man who claims that no one should be able to see him. That is, until the day his daughter, Sophie, is born. And she, Rachel, is about to have their first child. He's married to a bright and pretty woman who actually loves him for his normalcy. He owns a building in the heart of San Francisco, and runs a secondhand store with the help of a couple of loyal, if marginally insane, employees. He's what's known as a Beta Male: the kind of fellow who makes his way through life by being careful and constant - you know, the one who's always there to pick up the pieces when the girl gets dumped by the bigger/taller/stronger Alpha Male.īut Charlie's been lucky. A little hapless, somewhat neurotic, sort of a hypochondriac.
