Cash attends a performance art show held by Detroit. He tells Cash that he can get him to meet with Steve Lift (Armie Hammer), the CEO of WorryFree. _ (Omari Hardwick) (his name gets bleeped whenever someone says it), who always speaks in his white voice (voice of Patton Oswalt). Cash meets another Power Caller known as Mr. On his way past the protest line, a Left Eye protester named Cynthia Rose (Indigo Jackson) tosses a soda can at his head, making her a viral sensation while Cash becomes a laughingstock. This causes a rift between him, Sal, and Squeeze, and Detroit tells him that they are done if he continues to work for RegalView. Because he is making so much more money, Cash ends up abandoning the workers union, crossing their picket line to go to work while claiming he will support them from the sidelines. He is able to pay back Sergio in full, and he moves himself and Detroit into a swanky new apartment along with purchases of a better bed, TV set, and many expensive decorations. As a Power Caller, Cash starts to make a lot more money. He starts to tell them off, but they tell Cash that his work has proven to be so exceptional that he is being given a raise and moving on up to the top floor reserved for Power Callers. They lead a chant of "F*** you, RegalView!", leading the bosses to call Cash into their office. However, Squeeze leads all the callers to protest against RegalView since WorryFree is their biggest client, as well as more raises in their payment. Cash starts to utilize the white voice at work, which earns him lots and lots of sales. Cash and his friends gather for their drinks, and Cash makes a toast in his white voice (voice of David Cross), which stuns the others. At the bar, there is an ad for a company called WorryFree, which offers secure jobs, housing, and food, but a protest group called Left Eye believes that WorryFree's employees are being for slave labor to cut back costs, so they frequently vandalize their billboards across the city. He invites Cash out for drinks later, along with Sal and Detroit. Afterward, Cash meets a co-worker named Squeeze (Steven Yeun), who took notice of Cash's question. During a work meeting, Cash asks when the team will get raises, which is laughed off by Diana DeBauchery (Kate Berlant), the lady holding the meeting. Langston demonstrates with the use of his own white voice (voice of Steve Buscemi). The older caller sitting next to him, Langston (Danny Glover), tells Cash that he can get more clients by using a "white voice" instead of his African-American style of speaking. Cash starts working at RegalView with the calls, finding himself appearing as though he is there in the home of the people he is calling, but his lack of confidence in his presentation leads the people to hang up on him. Sergio also demands rent money from Cash that is four months late, because Sergio may soon have to sell his house. He frequently has thoughts of an existential crisis that he expresses to Detroit.
Cash lives in his uncle Sergio's (Terry Crews) garage with his girlfriend Detroit (Tessa Thompson) in nearby Oakland. However, Anderson sees that there is some potential in Cash as he is clearly ambitious, so he hires him and gives him a script that he will be using. Anderson (Robert Longstreet), points out that Cash lied about some details in his review, like his supposed bank job, as well as using his buddy Salvador (Jermaine Fowler) as a reference, when Sal already works for RegalView. The film starts with a young African-American man named Cassius "Cash" Green (Lakeith Stanfield) at an interview for a telemarketing job at RegalView in San Francisco.
The synopsis below may give away important plot points. However, Cassius' conscience arises anew as he finds himself in the midst of his boss' bizarre world of condescending bigoted decadence and his sinister plans to create the perfect subservient work force with Cassius' help. Regardless, Cassius finds himself promoted a "Power Caller" selling the most morally abhorrent but lucrative products and services as his connection to his girlfriend and colleagues fades away. With a bizarrely high-pitched accent, Cassius becomes a success even as his colleagues form a union to improve their miserable jobs. That changes when a veteran advises him to use his "white voice," and the attitude behind it to make himself more appealing to customers. In an alternate version of Oakland, Cassius Green gets a telemarketing job and finds the commission paid job a dispiriting struggle as a black man selling to predominately white people over the phone. In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a universe of greed.
