Cormac McCarthy's latest novel is unfinished and for some reason he turns to Mike Tyson to help him find the ending. But just as Mike settles in to tackle some of that dense, unflinching McCarthy prose, a Chupacabra attacks! Mike puts down the book and puts up his fists.
Someone at a well-known computer company needs Mike Tyson's help, but when the team arrives at the company headquarters, a highly publicized chess match between one of their supercomputers and Garry Kasparov complicates matters.
Mike is a terrible driver and although each driving incident has been an accident, he's killed a lot of people. But when he discovers almost all the victims were astronauts, Mike decides there's only one logical explanation: He must be part of a secret government plot to kill astronauts, because of something they saw on the moon, something the government doesn't want us to know! Before giving this theory a second thought, Mike steals a rocket and blasts off for the moon. In the end, Mike learns from his auto insurer that he hasn't been killing astronauts after all. It was a clerical error and most of the deaths were astronomers. And there can't be a secret government plot to kill astronomers, right?
When an old wizard seems to have lost faith in the existence of magic, Mike thinks he can prove him wrong — if he can just find a leprechaun he met years ago, one night at a bar. Along the way, Mike manages to beat up an illusionist and an actor, in separate incidents. In the end, Mike learns you don't need to find a leprechaun, because there's a leprechaun inside of us all.
When Mike learns that the itchy bites all over his body are likely from "bird mites," he reluctantly tells Pigeon he has to move out. Pigeon doesn't take it well and Mike goes from feeling bad to worse when he wakes up the next day with more bites and realizes Pigeon wasn't to blame. Pigeon, come back!
A Chinese businessman is attempting to dig the world's largest canal through Nicaragua and needs Mike's help to win the hearts and minds of the jungle dwellers who are against the project. But could Mike and the gang be on the wrong side?
