A temporary squatting situation soon prolongs itself – much to Claire’s dismay. Now, fresh out of prison and losing it all with nowhere to go, Darnell finds herself at the doorstep of Claire’s apartment. Needless to say, it’s not long before Darnell heads off to a fancy prison for a few months for insider trading.

Claire is underpaid and on the brink of seeking employment elsewhere to adequately support her daughter Rachel (Ella Anderson), unless Darnell gives her a long-expected – and much deserved – raise.Įither way, Claire’s career is about to take a different course when Darnell’s nemesis and former sexual partner Renault (Peter Dinklage) enacts revenge on her as payback for double-crossing him in the nineties.

Her much more modest assistant Claire (Kristen Bell) is the faithful workaholic single-mother, antithetical to Darnell’s parochial aspirations and someone who could use a bit of that American Dream that Darnell has used to her advantage. This propensity to push any potential and meaningful human interactions away doesn’t seem to bother her at all given her successful streak and her extravagant lifestyle that helped make her the “47th wealthiest woman in the world.” It’s no surprise that as an adult Darnell has found her calling as a cold and jaded ultra-rich business mogul reluctant to partake in even the most minuscule of relationships. The Boss stars Melissa McCarthy as successful businesswoman Michelle Darnell, an orphaned youngster inadvertently cast as an undesirable when her various foster families return her to where she came from.
