Cadillac Man

Joey O'Brien receives a two-day ultimatum to sell twelve cars or risk losing his position at a Queens car dealership. This pressure sets the stage for a frantic race against time as multiple problems in his life converge.

As Joey struggles with the ultimatum, his estranged ex-wife Pamela Reed demands alimony payments. This adds to Joey's growing anxiety, and he is further rattled by the ongoing disappearance of his daughter.

Joey finds himself romantically entangled with two mistresses, creating additional tension in his life. The complexity of his personal relationships causes him significant stress as he tries to balance everything.

Joey faces the looming threat of a loan from a menacing Mafia don. This financial burden adds a heavy weight to his already challenging circumstances, intensifying his sense of dread.

The dealership hosts a significant car sale event aimed at alleviating Joey's financial woes. However, this event spirals out of control when a motorcycle rider named Larry storms in brandishing an AK-47.

Larry, suspicious of Joey's loyalty, takes control of the dealership and holds hostages. Joey must confront him to negotiate the release of the captives while navigating Larry's demands.

In an attempt to diffuse the situation, Joey fabricates a story about having an affair with Larry's wife. This risky move is intended to provide Larry with some form of closure amidst the chaos.

As the negotiation continues, an unexpected bond forms between Joey and Larry. This connection ultimately leads to Larry agreeing to surrender peacefully, allowing for a resolution to the hostage situation.

Despite the successful negotiation, chaos erupts when police mistakenly shoot Larry after most of the hostages have been freed. This event throws everyone involved into further disarray.

Joey stays by Larry’s side during his recovery in the hospital. It is in this vulnerable moment that Joey confronts the shocking reality of his fabricated affair, realizing it was never true.

Following the crisis, Joey’s life takes an unexpected turn. His two mistresses discover each other, leading to their immediate departure from his life, further complicating his personal situation.

In a surprising twist of fate, Joey's daughter returns home, positively impacting his job security at the dealership. This development brings a sense of relief amidst the ongoing turmoil.

Amidst the chaos, the Mafia don, whose son was also among the hostages, decides to forgive Joey's debt. This act of mercy provides a surprising reprieve for Joey, lifting a considerable burden off his shoulders.

As Joey navigates his new circumstances, he begins to mend his fractured relationship with his ex-wife. Their interactions hint at potential reconciliation, underscoring themes of redemption.

By the end of his tumultuous journey, Joey finds himself reflecting on the unexpected shifts in his life. The experiences he endured teach him valuable lessons about relationship dynamics and personal resilience.
