Big Nothing

Charlie is an ex-teacher turned reluctant call center employee who gets fired on the first day. Distraught about being unable to provide for his daughter, Emily, and policewoman wife, Penelope, he is suddenly contacted by Gus, an aspiring scam artist who presents Charlie with a seemingly snag-free plan to make some cash: Blackmail Reverend Smalls - a man of the cloth - who's frequently turned up in the company database of visitors to illegal porn-sites. Gus plans on extorting Reverend Smalls, on pain of publicly exposure of the reverend's secret shame. Normally cautious, Charlie is keen on participating in this scam, confident that the money he'll make on the deal will finally help to turn things around for him and his family. Joined by one-time teenage pageant queen Josie McBroom (Gus's ex), the plan goes ahead - but it all goes wrong, beginning with the Reverend's death, and going downhill from there.
