Looking into the plot of One of Them Days
One of Them Days is like being on a roller coaster, with funny chaos and things one can't plan for. Alyssa, an ambitious artist, and Dreux Jones, a waitress, live in a run-down apartment with Alyssa's unreliable boyfriend, Keshawn. When their landlord claims they need to pay $1,500 in rent by 6 pm, the two women figure out that Keshawn stole the money to start his own T-shirt business.
They are desperate to get their money back, so they follow Keshawn to Berniece's house. After a dramatic fight, Keshawn admits that he lied, leaving the women with no money. They end up at a blood donation center while trying to get money, but even that plan goes horribly wrong.
At the same time, a fight with Berniece causes more chaos, which makes their mission even harder. The situation gets worse when the women sell a pair of Air Jordans. The shoes' original owner, King Lolo, targets them and demands $5,000 by 10 pm.
Dreux and Alyssa hold an unplanned art show to raise money since they are being threatened with eviction and need the money badly.
