What if your estranged billionaire uncle died and left you a trillion-dollar villain empire complete with genetically engineered talking cats? This is precisely the bizarre reality Charlie faces in "Starter Villain." Recently divorced, laid off from journalism, and reduced to substitute teaching while living in his childhood home with only his cat Hera for company, Charlie's life is already at rock bottom when he learns of Uncle Jake's death on CNBC. The supposedly ordinary parking garage magnate had been estranged from Charlie's family since his mother's funeral. Their only contact? A wedding gift of berry spoons with an eerily accurate prediction about Charlie's doomed marriage. When Jake's attorney Mathilda Morrison arrives requesting Charlie stand in at the funeral, his world transforms. Within days, Charlie goes from defending his uncle's corpse from a knife-wielding stranger to watching his house explode, faking his own death, and discovering his cat Hera can type complex messages on a specialized keyboard. The substitute teacher has unwittingly inherited a global empire built on what his uncle euphemistically called "villainy."
