Synopsis

There's trouble brewing--bigly--in ritzy Canaandale during the run-up to the hotly contested 2016 presidential election.

Suzanne Dealy, a political progressive with a flair for the dramatic, is suffering from a listless libido, thanks to her Trump-supporter husband, George. His solution to "the minimum wage problem" in his 26 McDonald's franchises is to replace his inconvenient workers with "McRobots."

After a bitter quarrel, Suzanne attempts to embarrass George into a change of heart with an innovative shoplifting scheme involving Amazon air-pillow packaging and tight jeans. Happily, she discovers her libido's not so listless when she's "saved" by Steve Harris, another admirer of the French economist, Thomas Piketty, who documented the corrosive wealth gap in America. But their sizzling affair gets complicated when, together with Harris's idealistic daughter and her Brooklyn artist boyfriend, they decide to launch "the Piketty Brigade" to fight income inequality and sabotage the McRobots.
