We see what led up to this event fourteen days earlier, when Todd is in Portland, Oregon and is unexpectedly chosen by his new boss Brent Wilts (Will Arnett) at Global National to head up a division in London to sell an energy drink known as Global thunder. When Todd hears that he will be making $120K, he immediately lies and tells Wilts that he grew up in Leeds. Todd’s former boss Doug Whitney (Spike Jonze) is fired for trying to stop Wilts from sending Todd. Todd says goodbye to Stephanie Daley (Amber Tamblyn), the girl he considered his girlfriend, and leaves his cat with a giant tub of tuna and heads to London. Immediately lost, he visits the Graceland Cafe where he burns his hand on a jar of jam and loses his luggage to a bomb squad. However, he meets the proprietor Alice Bell (Sharon Horgan) who helps him bandage his hand. He then finds that his office is a nearly abandoned warehouse, meets his unenthused assistant Dave (Blake Harrison), and receives 16,000 crates of Global Thunder. Todd tries to sell the drink one-by-one while Dave is more interested in visiting pubs and making a fool of Todd. After having no luck selling the product in a pub and then getting headbutted by a potential female customer on the street, they return to Graceland where Todd has a nervous breakdown.
