We are all out of cornflakes. – FU
Brooklyn is suffering under a searing heat wave in August, when two veterans pull rifles on clerks at a bank. Sonny, the lead burglar, needs money to pay for his trans partner’s gender affirming care. The problem? There’s barely any cash in the vault. When the cops show up, the robbery descends into a hostage situation. As hundreds of heavily armed police surround the building, the media and a mob of angry people push against barricades to cheer or spit on Sonny as he curses and challenges the cops.
In the middle of one of the hottest summers ever, after years of war, a criminal Presidency, riots over police violence against Black folks, and rampant inflation, Sonny becomes the hero/villain focus for all the boiling tensions and divisions in the city and across the country.
