Bad Assistant

Devoted assistant Emilee Rank has spent the last three years working for washed-up actor and notorious Hollywood nightmare Parker St. Garrett. After decades of bit parts in B-movies, Parker finally lands a leading role in a successful super hero film franchise. But the good news is quickly eclipsed when he and Emilee discover Parker’s best friend Sexual Jay, dead of an overdose in Parker’s guest room. Fearing a death in his home will force the studio to rescind the career-making job offer, Parker enlists Emilee’s help in moving the body back to Jay’s house. Emilee reluctantly agrees and, with Sexual Jay in the trunk, the pair set off on a stressful road trip that pushes their dysfunctional relationship to its breaking point.
