Synopsis

Asked to lead an investigation by the Bureau into the inexplicable behavior of a town that has seemingly gone insane, a highly regarded psychology professor encounters absurdist leaders, madcap citizens, figures of questionable authenticity, and a plethora of outrageous denizens all spewing impossible statements and making fantastical accusations within an indecipherable logic before being put on trial for crimes that are blatantly opaque. The question remains: Was this what it felt like to live in America during the first two years of the Trump Administration? Stylistic invention, direct citations, wild play, outlandish humor, compassion, random dispatches, historical photographs, faux documents, and a variety of other approaches to convey the larger metaphor—welcome to “The Greatest Place on Earth”!
