Plot
For ten years, Zack Bradley has been employed at Super Club as a well-regarded box boy, but faces uncertainty after a failed business venture. He lives with his grandmother and has friends among his colleagues, including Lon Neilson, Iqbal Raji, and Russell Porpis-Gunders. Zack's rival, Vince Downey, consistently earns Employee of the Month for being the fastest and popular head cashier; however, Vince is conceited and misogynistic, and workplace bullies subordinates like his box boy, Jorge Mecico, while management remains unaware of his behaviors because of his chicanery.
