Cara, the owner of a small, quiet, uneventful local bar in New Orleans during the early parts of the Covid-19 pandemic manages her bar, playing some classic 70s tunes when her regular Tuesday guest and friend, Kyle, shows up and drinks a little too much a little too fast. Kyle is in a bit of a mental health crisis after being laid off from his job. Burdened by his uncertain circumstances with a wife, a child, and a baby on the way, Kyle attempts to rob Cara and take his own life. Cara, who has been through it too, due to the pandemic, does everything she can to convince Kyle that things will work out, attempting to bring him down from the mental ledge he finds himself on. In the end, a simple job offer and friendship illuminate a small bit of hope during a seemingly hopeless situation.
