The Story
When expectations are low, it’s amazing how much damage you can still do.
Bryan Jones wrote The Low Bar as a throwback to ’90s comedies, back when stuff was dumber and sillier, then put an undercover FBI agent in the middle of it to scratch his itch for action movies.
The Low Bar
The Low Bar is what happens when ambition, incompetence, and organized crime collide in modern-day St. Louis.
At the center of it all is a ramshackle neighborhood bar: neon beer signs, questionable bookkeeping, and a clientele that treats illegal transactions like happy hour specials. When big money starts moving through the basement safe, everyone wants a cut, including people who shouldn’t be trusted with scissors, let alone organized crime.
This isn’t a story about masterminds. It’s a story about overconfidence. It’s about men who think they’re sharks but are actually raccoons fighting over a trash can full of cocaine. Think crime caper meets workplace comedy meets “this can’t possibly get worse,” and then it does.
