Plot[edit]

Francis packs in the muscle and has a can of beer always close at hand. He is also street-smart enough to impress Maya, the oomphy voice of reason in the movie. Boss Man is a veteran raver whose clothes are as colorful as his principles and punchlines. Slow in speech but quick to draw a six-shooter, he owns the Jackpot casino.
