Overview
We all know better than to click on a pop-up ad promising us thousands of dollars. We all know better than to go into debt. We all know better than to take a job that promises easy cash. But we all make mistakes, and Melissa Howell (Katherine Cullen) has somehow found herself at the intersection of broke and desperate. While ignoring calls from a debt-collection agency, she takes a job at as a quasi-telemarketer, selling vacation packages to people who call in thinking they’ve won a cash prize. At job orientation, she meets her gratingly enthusiastic boss Frances (“you can call me Fran”), played by Erika Batdorf, and a happily spacey co-worker, played by Lesley Loksi Chan.
