Sept. 12, 2023 – Zanna is a low-rent South Florida outfit with almost no market share, putting everyoneโincluding wannabe COO Pete Brenner (Evans)โin dire straits. All that changes, however, when Pete visits a local strip club and meets Liza Drake (Blunt), a dancer with a preternatural gift for reading people and convincing them to do her bidding. By the end of the night, Pete offers her a job.
This stroke of luck couldnโt come at a better time for Liza, whose adolescent daughter Phoebe (Chloe Coleman) has just been suspended from school for igniting a forest fire with illegal fireworks, and whose sister wants them both to clean up their act and move out of her garage. Desperate, Liza takes Pete up on his proposal, and her sales background and go-getter attitude so impress him that he falsifies her resumรฉ and introduces her to Dr. Jack, whoโs charmed and quickly puts her on the payroll, much to the chagrin of Peteโs office rival Brent (Jay Duplass). Liza is given one week to โinvent a doctor,โ by which Pete means convince a shady physician to write a single Lonafen prescription and, in doing so, get him on their proverbial team. Thatโs harder than it seems, although thanks to a last-second meeting with a pain management physician (Brian dโArcy James)โknown as โThe $9 Million Manโ because of his unscrupulous work with other pharma outfitsโLiza accomplishes her mission and sets herself and Zanna on a course to the stratosphere.
