Leeland Lee is a man who was raised on a failing hog farm and grew up to have a steady string of endless jobs himself. Several times Leeland tries to run his own business, but each of these fails. Leeland attempts to raise hogs with his father, but this also fails when his father allows the business to become deeply indebted without telling his son. Leeland also drives trucks and works in a meat packing business. However, none of these jobs seem to fit and Leeland ends up working as a chef in a café.
