Daniel Lugo, manager of the Sun Gym in 1990s Miami, decides that there is only one way to achieve his version of the American dream: extortion.

After several failed attempts, they abduct rich businessman Victor Kershaw and convince him to sign over all his assets to them. But when Kershaw makes it out alive, authorities are reluctant to believe his story.

"If you're willing to do the work, you can have anything. That's what makes the U.S. of A great. When it started, America was just a handful of scrawny colonies. Now, it's the most buff, pumped-up country on the planet. That’s pretty rad."Me in 2013: sorta like if Fargo was made by the ugliest, witless, most reprehensible human on the planet, whose tastelessly hyperactive music video maximalism makes very little satirical sense and instead just operates as a gruesome, never-ending florida man gym bro fever dream. This sucks.Me in 2022: sorta like if Fargo was made by the ugliest, witless, most reprehensible human on the planet, whose tastelessly hyperactive music video maximalism makes very little satirical sense and instead just operates as a gruesome, never-ending florida man gym bro fever dream. This rocks.
