Who is Chuck? The world is ending, California is sinking into the sea, the Internet is collapsing - but in a small American town, the main thing is gratitude towards Charles "Chuck" Krantz (Tom Hiddleston) , an ordinary accountant whose face smiles kindly at everyone from billboards and television. Who is this man that nobody really seems to know? A mystery that goes way back to his childhood with his grandmother (Mia Sara) , who passed on her endless love of dancing to him, and his grandfather (Mark Hamill) , who initiated him into the secrets of accountancy and was determined to keep him out of the locked attic. A mystery that raises one question above all: can the fate of one person influence the whole world?
