Charlie opdager ved sin fars død, at han ikke skal arve familieformuen. Overraskelsen bliver ikke mindre, da det viser sig, at arven går til en hidtil ukendt storebror, som oven i købet er autist. Charlie bortfører resolut sin autistiske bror for at få de penge, der tilkommer ham, men mødet med den ukendte bror bringer minder frem, og Charlie undergår en forvandling.
