The one generation that mostly voted for Trump was Gen X. What happened? This comedy, offering great roles to actors in their twenties and set in the idealistic Chicago arts scene of the 1990s, shows the extreme temptations to sell out, especially for the cool people.

Timely and provocative. Reflects current controversies in news, such as critics questioning various presidential pardons, and the astonishment of J.D. Vance's old friends of how he has sold out on a shocking new level.

SYNOPSIS:
They say nothing has more rules than punk rock, and Brad, a former '80s punk rocker, relishes breaking every one.

He sells out in the most spectacular way possible as top MAGA operative, risking his freedom with prison, and something even more cherished: his coolness. In this comedy/drama, this apparent change has an explosive effect on the relationships of his old Chicago friends. His close artist friend Madge, the main character, struggles to make sense of this puzzling evolution, stay loyal to Brad, and preserve his lucrative advertising connections, such as using her old Riot Grrrl street cred to sell hormone pills to aging Gen X Women via Madison Avenue. Meanwhile, she clashes with her idealistic, socialist, non-compromising eternal-grad student husband to attain basic comforts, such as her ultimate goal of central air. She asks if supporting a bad candidate makes one a bad person -- and at one point has a loved one crossed over the dark side and become complicit?
