Spoilers ahead

Gregory Wilks, who prefers to go by the name Joe and is portrayed by DJ Walls, is a timid and awkward man working at a burger joint. His life is far from ideal as he faces relentless bullying from his boss, Mr. Krolick, played by William Sadler. No matter how much he tries to convince himself that his circumstances aren’t as dire, deep down, Joe knows that his life is miserable. The constant humiliation he endures—like being forced to stick his arm into a toilet for cleaning or receiving a toilet brush as a birthday gift—takes a toll on his spirit. Eventually, his patience runs thin, and Mr. Krolick fires him, labeling him incompetent.
