Tom Brand is a billionaire workaholic with a certain strangeness about him. He’s completely absorbed in his work and stands somewhat outside the life of his family, to the point where he remembers to buy birthday presents for his daughter only at the last moment. Rebecca dreams of owning a real cat, and however much Tom dislikes animals, he heads to the pet store and picks out the most beautiful cat there, who goes by the name of Mr. Fuzzypants.
