Instead, Liza claims at the start, looking back: “I did it for the right reasons.” And here’s sales rep Pete, her unscrupulous colleague: “This was 2011. Strictly speaking, we were not part of the opioid crisis.” Evans, leaning into the sleaze, is fun to watch throughout, though the filmmakers care oddly little about his backstory.
Liza’s daughter, Phoebe gets in trouble at high school, engaging in what one might call, um, arson. We also learn she suffers from epilepsy. She requires a stable environment, the doctor says. And then Liza and daughter get kicked out of the garage and move into a cheap motel, eating instant noodles. Liza reconsiders that job offer.
Zanna, named for Neel’s own late wife, goes public, and is the industry’s new kid on the block. The company’s celebratory slogan, shouted at decadent parties: “We Own Cancer!”
