"MAGOO: BE DARING TRY SOMETHING NEW: A DAY IN LOS ANGELES FEBRUARY 2017," a visual look at the life of a fish warehouse clerk.
The story follows Magoo as he begins his day, approaching Korean Airlines with his van full of Pacific sharks, rays, and skates, a monthly shipment destined for the MARIUM AQUAIUM in Seoul, Korea. While rocking out to AC/DC's "Hells Bells" , he stops for lunch from the China Town Express.

His fortune cookie fortune reads, "Be Daring, try something new," which he laughs at, noting it's how he got into his current predicament. It is now February 2017, and he is eight months into this grind, paying off location fees for a movie that was stolen from him. Magoo feels trapped in his own "beautiful nightmare of life," much like a lost honey bee on the concrete.

The day involves typical Los Angeles traffic and logistics issues, including an incorrect LAX-LVS airbill for a Southwest Air shipment. His VW Jetta is also in the shop.

Magoo is known for providing premium, happy, healthy, and whole marine sea life. A Caribbean shipment has arrived for his new contract with several display case aquariums, which are "VIVA LAS VEGAS BOUND". These fish wait in acclimation tanks for three days before being sent to Casino Aquariums. Magoo calls his detailed process "OCEAN IN A BOX" to recreate "LIFE ON A REEF".

His day continues with another delivery and pick-up, leaving him stuck in a van in traffic on Crenshaw, right in front of Space X. He feels "trapped in the grind of a gimmick called a bad decision". He trudges along in his routine , his only celebration being paying rent and car repairs. As he waits, "Good Vibrations" by The Beach Boys plays, and he wishes to disappear like a camouflaging peppermint shrimp.
