TRIGGER WARNING: intense adult language, talk of violence, talk of self harm, and references to mass shootings.
In the early 2020s, Portsman and Lizbeth are aspiring television writers working as security guards for Jeff Bezos's mostly desolate mansion in Beverly Hills. On the eve of a major California wildfire and in the midst of a working class uprising, Mr. Bezos shows up at his mansion for the first time, seeking an escape from the protests at his headquarters in Washington. He offers to produce the pair's pilots as long as they keep him safe while things calm down. The two gladly accept, but as the fire gets closer and the revolutionaries approach, they must decide how far they are willing to go to make sure their stories are heard at the end of the world.
