As a small business amongst huge corporations, Florence and her parents struggle to make ends meet. However, they remain optimistic and happy.

Dirty business is what he's best at and dragging people into his dangerous (and illegal) activities are no bother. But things go sideways when he also takes a strange interest in Florence.
