Faced with a demotion at work due to a drinking problem, Osbourne Cox angrily quits his job as a CIA analyst and resolves to write a memoir about his life and career. When his pediatrician wife Katie finds out, she sees it as a justifiable opportunity to file for divorce and continue her adulterous affair unimpeded. Taking her lawyer's advice, she copies financial records and several other files from her husband's computer onto a CD. These files contain a rambling, meaningless diatribe by Cox on purported CIA activities.
When the CD gets left on the locker room floor of Hardbodies, a local gym, by a careless law firm employee, it falls into the hands of dim-witted personal trainer Chad Feldheimer and his co-worker Linda Litzke, who mistakenly believe the numerical data in the Coxes' bank records, and especially, Cox's diatribes, to be highly sensitive government information. After getting the data traced back to Osbourne, who thinks his memoirs have been stolen, Chad and Linda plan to give the disc back to him for a reward, with Linda planning to use the money to pay for plastic surgery. When a phone call and subsequent meeting with Osbourne provoke a furious reaction and go horribly wrong, Chad and Linda turn over the disc to the Russian embassy, offering more information in return for monetary compensation. With no other data to give them, Linda persuades Chad to sneak into the Coxes' home to get more files from their computer.

When did it come to this
These drained emotions
I feel guilty for not being inspired
I can see you reaching out to me
But I leave you floating
After I am free of you
I should be missing what we had
In loving memory
To whom do I turn for a new beginning
All alone do I trust with this task
Of solace
In loving memory
I have lost the power to feel
Turned to stone
My heart blackened
I should have seen what was good
Not been so easily blinded
All that glitters isn't gold
Every shimmering rock I've collected
kept weighing me down
Pulling me to the ground
All that I have left of us is a memory
A picture of you and me
Have I forsaken my destiny
I have lost the power to feel
Turned to stone
My heart is bleeding
I should have seen what was good
Not been so easily blinded
All that glitters isn't gold
Every shimmering rock I've collected
kept weighing me down
Pulling me to the ground
All that I have left of us is a memory
A picture of you and me
