Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Upon getting fired from his twelfth advertising agency, a moronic former adman attempts to start his own crime family with disastrous results. Truman may not have any union-labor lineage to speak of, and he may be hopelessly inept in everything he does, yet he remains convinced that he has what it takes to make a mint in crime. Now, after recruiting three of his best friends, purchasing four hideous Zoot Suits, and striking a deal with a smoking Italian bartender, Truman dubs his gang "La Familia," and attempts to take over the local "protection business." Perhaps with a little luck, this hopeless bunch won't suffer any broken knees from the real bad guys as set out taking credit for crimes they didn't commit, and prove themselves the most incompetent group of criminals ever to break the law.
