Jesse Eisenberg stars as Mike Howell, a stoner by day, all day, who works at a sparsely trafficked convenience store by night in forgotten-town Liman, West Virginia, where his weed smoking continues to the break of dawn, when he's reunited with his faithful live-in girlfriend, Phoebe. However, turns out that Mike is some sort of unwitting sleeper cell, and in quite a bit of danger when his CIA cohorts decide to put him to bed, something that becomes clear when he's visited by a sympathetic agent named Victoria Lasseter to try to trigger him back to action, followed by a parking lot altercation in which he unleashes the kind of hellacious badassery upon his assailants that only years of intense physical training and finely honed instincts can provide.
