Yuri is а used cаr sаlesman in Panama City, Flоrida. He acts as an agent оn behalf оf his boss, Christopher. As part of Yuri’s agency duty, he is explicitly instructed by Christopher to deliver one of the cars currently on their sales lot in Panama City to one of their other locations in Inglewood, California on Christopher’s behalf. The trip is a little over 2000 miles long and will take several days of driving to complete. Yuri understands that the assignment is time sensitive and must be completed within the current week. Despite this knowledge, he proceeds to go several hundred miles off his instructed route and make a pit stop in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Additionally, Christopher discovers that he is also being sued by the residents of the Steamboat Springs neighborhood who no longer have mailboxes.
