Sorry to Bother You

In a not-so-distant alternate reality, Cassius Green is struggling to find his footing in a city teetering on the edge of chaos. A charismatic yet underachieving telemarketer, Cassius moves through a landscape of corporate greed and absurdity. His life takes a sharp turn when he discovers a hidden talent for adopting his callers’ voices, quickly rising through the ranks at RegalView, a telemarketing firm notorious for its cutthroat tactics and morally ambiguous practices.

As Cassius climbs the corporate ladder, he befriends an eclectic group of coworkers, including the fiercely ambitious Detroit, an artist grappling with selling out her ideals, and the soft-hearted but disillusioned Langston, who values integrity over profit. Together, they share dreams of wealth and success, but Cassius soon realizes that climbing the corporate hierarchy comes at a personal cost, as he grapples with his identity and loyalty to friends who are less willing to compromise their values.

When Cassius stumbles upon a sinister secret within RegalView—an exploitative technology that turns workers into unwilling “horsepeople”—he faces a moral dilemma that forces him to confront the very foundations of capitalism and exploitation. As pressure mounts from his corporate superiors and the system that rewards greed, Cassius must decide whether to remain a puppet in the corporate game or rise up to fight for his friends and the values he once believed in.

Sorry to Bother You explores themes of systemic oppression, the absurdity of capitalism, and the complexities of human connection in a world that often dehumanizes. With a mix of sharp humor, striking visuals, and a powerful social commentary, the series challenges viewers to consider the sacrifices made in the pursuit of success and the importance of staying true to oneself.

As tensions escalate and allegiances are tested, Cassius must navigate a twisted maze of choices that could lead to redemption or destruction. Will he find the courage to shatter the status quo, or will he let ambition overshadow his humanity? In a world where authenticity feels like a distant memory, Sorry to Bother You is both a cautionary tale and an exhilarating ride through the complexities of modern life.
