Storyline
A minor-league baseball player must spend $30 million in 30 days in order to inherit $300 million. However, he's not allowed to own any assets, destroy the money, gamble it, give it to charity, or tell anyone about the deal.
Montgomery "Monty" Brewster is a failed baseball player currently playing for the Hackensack Bulls, a minor-league team based in New Jersey. With his teammate and best friend Spike Nolan, Monty seems to make more headlines off the field than on it. However, Monty's life is changed overnight when he learns that a wealthy long-lost uncle had passed away and left him $300'000'000 in his will but to gain access to his inheritance and to teach him the value of money, he must first spend $30,000,000 in just 30 days. Sounds fairly easy but there are rules that he must follow. Firstly he can't tell anyone about the challenge, secondly by the end of the 30 days he mustn't own any assets, and thirdly he can't destroy or give away any items that are inherently valuable. Can Monty rise the to the challenge? Well, he'll have so much fun finding out.
