It follows 20-year-old Lucy (Levy) and war veteran Stupe (Bautista) during a domestic crisis as Texas tries to secede from the U.S., with NYC being used as a negotiation tool. Lucy and Stupe meet during a military invasion of Brooklyn and together decide to cross the treacherous five blocks of Bushwick — littered with looters, local militias, the invading forces and one crazy cousin — in order to get home and be reunited with Lucy’s grandmother.
