Eugene's dream is to open his own restaurant. The only problem is he does not have the financial backing for this endeavor. He repeatedly tries to get a loan from a bank or other commercial lender, but he's denied each time. Desperate for the funds, Eugene gets the contact information for a loan shark and decides to enter into a private loan agreement.
