Pain Hustlers (2023)
Highschool-Abbrecherin Liza Drake zieht von Job zu Job und träumt von einem besseren Leben für sich und ihre Tochter Phoebe, die an einer schweren Erkrankung leidet. Als sie für Geld auch in einem Nachtclub strippen geht, lernt sie den Pharmareferenten Pete Brenner kennen. Der legt ihr in betrunkenem Zustand nahe, sich bei dem kleinen Start-Up-Unternehmen, für das er in Florida tätig ist, zu bewerben. Das tut Liza dann auch, wobei die Arbeit zunächst nicht die erhoffte Chance, sondern nur ein weiterer Gelegenheitsjob zu sein scheint, zumal die Firma unter der Führung von Jack Neel kurz vor der Pleite steht. Mit viel Charme und Initiative gelingt es Liza dann aber, das Unternehmen zu ungeahnten Erfolgen zu führen. Das Produkt, das sie verkauft, ist allerdings ein Schmerzmittel für Krebspatienten, dessen Inhaltsstoffe höchst umstritten sind.
