　　卡罗尔（詹妮弗·安妮斯顿 Jennifer Aniston 饰）和克莱（T·J·米勒 T.J. Miller 饰）是一对相爱相杀的兄妹，他们共同在父亲的公司里工作，一个人是董事，另一个是执行官。在处理公司事务上，兄妹两人完全是截然相反的两种态度，卡罗尔严肃而又谨慎，希望公司里的一切都能够按照规章制度所设定的那样运转。生性放荡不羁的克莱则并不这么想，他希望通过种种重口味的活动和派对来刺激员工们的工作欲望。　　父亲的去世让卡罗尔和克莱必须决定他们谁才是这家公司真正的继承人，为了拉拢人心，克莱在损友乔什（杰森·贝特曼 Jason Bateman 饰）的帮助之下决定举办一场疯狂的圣诞派对。

　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
