Palm Springs, Boss Level kicks off when its main character is already deep into the time loop – 140 loops in to be precise.
Former special forces agent Roy Pulver (
Captain America s Frank Grillo) wakes up every day about to be killed by a machete-wielding assassin. He knows every move, including how to dodge the helicopter gunfire about to rain on him from outside, and goes through the motions to survive.
That s not the end of Roy s endless day though as he s chased down by an eclectic bunch of assassins throughout the morning, eventually dying at 12.47pm each day whatever he does. He s done with this shit and now spends every day in the loop heading to a restaurant and getting drunk until he s killed.
