Dave works tirelessly to establish himself with the woman he loves. Enduring Craig's racist attacks, Dave is nevertheless one of the few to stand up to him, in a confrontation where the boss seems to both despise and fear him.

While he erects a barrier between himself and his white colleagues, he proves himself to be a hard worker who will do anything to achieve his goal.
