The trailer begins with Frank riding in the back of a car as he’s heard telling someone, ‘I kept my mouth shut for 25 years.’
He’s seen in a room with a number of other mafia leaders, one of whom is asking what he expects, and Frank says, ‘Adequate compensation.’
‘Tulsa. I want yo to go there. The horse races, Springboard Mile. There’s nobody doing nothing you can do whatever you want,’ Frank is told.

‘Not exactly the welcome I was expecting,’ Frank says, as he’s seen arriving in Tulsa and meeting a taxi driver who welcomes him to Tulsa.
He slides him an envelope of cash and says he’ll pay him ‘two grand a week’ to drive for him, as Frank asks what, ‘crew’ runs the neighborhood.
‘Ain’t no crew up in here. We’re in the middle of nowhere,’ the driver tells him.

Frank heads to a local bar, asking the bartender, ‘I assume you don’t have Chianti?’ and the bartender responds, ‘You assume correctly.’
He goes into a dispensary where he knocks out one employee and tells another (Martin Starr) that he’ll protect them from the gangs and the law… but there are no gangs and dispensaries are legal.
The employee is visited by the FBI and he tells Frank, ‘There was no risk until you came along.’

‘If I stopped eating sometime anyone tried to hurt me I’d be a skeleton,’ he tells her.
The trailer winds down with a number of dramatic shots including Frank telling someone there’s, ‘no such thing’ as the mafia while Frank buries a body.
‘Is this a one-off or one of many?’ Frank is asked and he shrugs and says, ‘Too soon to tell’ as the trailer comes to an end.
