Synopsis

Earl has taken one too many wrong turns on the highway of life. However, a twist of fate turns his life into a tailspin of life-renewing events.

Earl wins a small lottery, and after an epiphany, he is determined to transform his good fortune into a life-changing event as he sets out to right all the wrongs from his past.

Before Earl can begin his journey, his inevitable attraction to misfortune surfaces once again. Seconds after winning the lottery, he is hit by a car and while unconscious, the winning lottery ticket blows away.

While in the hospital, Earl watches Last Call with Carson Daly where Carson says that his success is a direct result of doing good things for other people.

It is at that moment that Earl discovers karma, and in hope of a better life, he sets out to correct every bad thing he's ever done starting with a grade school geek, Kenny, who Earl used to pick on.

Joining Earl in his quest to cleanse his karma are a few dim-witted friends: hapless brother Randy and the very sexy Catalina. Offering him support is Darnell, the owner of the Crab Shack where Earl drinks beer. Earl’s ex-wife Joy won't lift a finger to help though - unless there's something in it for her.

Despite his seemingly limited intelligence, Earl is oddly effective, and the comedy series, like Earl himself, has a voice and style of its own.
