A surreal comedy showing the meanders of the road to great success. Today's Oakland, the black telemarketer Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) discovers the magic key to success in the profession. Only that he quickly falls into the machine of success, which, admittedly, provides him financial success, but spoils the relationship with the girl, Detroit (Tessa Thompson), a street artist who is part of the artistic collective of Banksy style artists. When Cassius' colleagues start a drug strike, he succumbs to the charm of his cocaine-addicted boss Steve Lift (Arma Hammer), who offers him money that Cassius did not even dream about.
