Full plot (contains spoilers)
Kirk Kettner, a TSA agent in Pittsburgh, begins a relationship with Molly McCleish, a successful woman who is much more conventionally attractive than him. While their initial meetings at a museum and a hockey game lead to a budding romance, Kirk's friend Stainer warns him that the 'numerical chasm' between them makes the relationship unsustainable. After a series of dates and a complicated encounter involving Molly's parents, Kirk becomes insecure about his status in her life, especially when her ex-boyfriend, a pilot, reappears. Kirk eventually breaks up with Molly, believing she is too good for him, and returns to his ex, Marnie. However, after a series of misunderstandings and a dramatic intervention by Stainer, Kirk realizes his insecurities were misplaced. He reconciles with Molly and eventually fulfills his dream of becoming a pilot, surprising her with a trip to Cleveland.
