Charlie Baileygates (Jim Carrey), is a Rhode Island State Police trooper who has been taken advantage of by people throughout most of his life. Immediately after his marriage, his wife, Layla (Traylor Howard), cheats on him with a black dwarf limosuine driver, Shonté (Tony Cox), who, like Layla, is a member of Mensa. Although Charlie's friends try informing him of his wife's infidelity, he still denies the possibility. Layla eventually runs off with Shonté; leaving Charlie to raise the three illegitimate sons that are the products of Layla's adulterous affair with the limo driver. The affair leaves Charlie emotionally damaged to such the extent that he lets himself be abused by others. Despite him being a police officer, the citizens reject his authority with open scorn. After some time of continuous abuse by the people around him, his anger builds up, and Charlie develops a rude and violent split personality named Hank, caused by "advanced delusionary schizophrenia with involuntary narcissistic rage." The psychiatrist prescribes him a medicine to keep his double personality suppressed. Believing that Charlie needs a vacation, the force tells him to escort a woman named Irene Waters (Renée Zellweger) to Massena, New York because it was reported that she committed a hit and run that was actually committed by Dickie, Irene's partner. When some hit men arrive with a contract on Irene's life, Charlie agrees to help her escape, while two United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agents are killed by the hit men. Charlie leaves his medicine behind, causing his alter ego, Hank, to surface any time he wants. The FBI suspects that Charlie is responsible for the assassination of the two EPA agents. While pretending to work with the police to find their father, Charlie's sons throw the police off their father's trail, they proceed to steal a police helicopter to get to Charlie before the police. Meanwhile, Dickie orders some corrupt agents to kill both Charlie and Irene. After they fail, Dickie decides to settle the matter himself. During the confrontation with Dickie, Charlie manages to eliminate the alternate personality, Hank. Eventually, he manages to stop Dickie, and put an end to the corruption. With Hank gone, and all the members of the conspiracy behind bars, the film ends with Charlie and Irene together.
