George inherits his bodybuilding brother’s estate; unfortunately the gyms are a front for steroids.

George Starmadeenowitz is an honest, hardworking, accountant. His clients would always ask if he was related to Bronson Starmadeenowitz, and he would say no. The truth is Bronson was his world famous, bodybuilder older brother. At the age of thirty-eight Bronson dies in a fatal car accident, and George is left as the only heir to Bronson’s empire. When he goes to see his new, gorgeous mansion he realizes the many reasons he has been estranged from his brother. Bronson turned the mansion into a tribute to himself. There were signed photos everywhere, and a life-sized, naked statue of him in the bathroom.

Things got even worse, when George went to see the gym chain he’s about to inherit. The first gym he visited had more employees than clients. He is informed by Barry, the muscled up general manager, that the gym chain is the biggest seller and distributor of steroids and HGH in California. Every team’s trainer goes to Barry’s crew of bodybuilder, drug dealers to get steroids and the masking agents to hide proof of them. He finds the financial records for the gym, and realizes they are bankrupt. He is able to figure out that Barry, and Bronson’s lawyer Max, are laundering the money made through the steroid sales, right into the gyms. If George reports the activity, he would ruin everything, including his brother’s reputation. By not reporting it, he risks jail time from the DEA which was already preparing a case against his brother. George has a lot of difficult decisions to make, including how to regain control of the family business from a shady lawyer, without being seriously injured by Barry.
