LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Some places in the world are known for their natural beauty and attractions, but Florida is known for its ‘Florida Man’ memes about a single doing criminal activities in the weirdest way possible. No one ever thought that these Florida Man memes would go on to become such a phenomenon. But Netflix went one step ahead with this meme and turned it into a series that digs deeper than any viral meme imaginable. Titled ‘Florida Man’, the series chronicles the journey of an ex-cop named Mike Valentine (Edgar Ramirez) who is in a lot of debt and is now working for a Philly mobster named Moss Yankov.

Yankov tells Mike to return to his home state of Florida after his girlfriend, Delly West (Abbey Lee), runs away in her new BMW. He finds out that Delly is in Florida and asks Mike to go and find her. Mike accepts the mission and says if he finds her, he will get his freedom. Yankov says yes to the deal and Mike takes a flight to Florida. However, things get weird when Delly mentions something about a treasure in Florida and how she wants to have it. Mike says he knows where the treasure is and that only he can help in retrieving it. So, they make a plan to get to the treasure and become rich.

However, in the last episode, Moss finds out about the place where Mike was living. He barges inside his room and finds Delly there. He was surprised to see her and they talk to each other. During the conversation, it was revealed that Moss killed her father and that’s why Delly didn’t want to be with him. However, she confessed later in the part that she wanted to be with him to have a better life because she understood his love for her.

She tells him about the gold and how only Mike knows about the treasure’s location. So, they both get together and make a plan to ruin everything for Mike.
