Set in the small town of Eddington, New Mexico, during the uncertain days of May 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, the film centers on an escalating feud between Sheriff Joe Cross, portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, and Mayor Ted Garcia, played by Pedro Pascal. Civic tensions flare as public health measures, conspiracy theories, and social upheaval pit neighbors and old friends against each other.
The story intensifies when Joe Cross, feeling disenfranchised and desperate, launches a mayoral campaign hinged on anti-mask rhetoric.
