Official teaser: Multi-Level Man

Over the course of one feverish day, a delusional insurance salesman trapped in a multi-level-marketing scheme desperately tries to better his life for himself and his girlfriend, only for it to blow up in his face. He embarks on an odyssey across an indifferent and unforgiving Los Angeles to make it right.
