When Michael is called to Los Angeles to do a "job", he assumes it's just going to be business as usual. But from the very beginning nothing goes right for him, no matter how much his best buddy Jerry tries to gloss it over.

He’s hasn’t given up hope. He’s still looking for some meaning in his life, as he desperately tries to cope with his demons and his past. A past that some people won’t let him forget. This isn’t the life Danny envisioned for himself, but it’ll do for now.
