A woman with a Gucci bag is shot on Fifth Avenue near Trump Tower. The two cops first on the scene are dismissed from the case and hole up in a dive bar to figure out why. A viral internet story connecting President Trump to the shooting leads to a nasty break-up between one of the cops and his Puerto Rican girlfriend, and spills over into an argument about immigration with the right-wing gun-slinging lesbian bartender. They drink and grapple with the twisted logic of online hysteria, but the resentment, racism, and rage of the characters, and their inability to agree on basic facts, to speak a common language, or to share an agreed-upon logic leads to an explosive climax.
