In the movie, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Phoenix) and mayor (Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico. Taking place in May of 2020, the film captures the feeling of chaos and uncertainty that riddled the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.
