Every Wednesday, French editor Pierre Brochant and some of his friends organize a very special dinner: a "dîner de cons" (Literally: "Dinner of shmucks"), where whoever brings the dumbest guest wins.

Desperate to find a suitable candidate for the week, Brochant invites a friend's recommendation: François Pignon, a taxman who build models out of matchsticks and seems like "a real winner".
