David and Ellie didn’t realize how much they have missed their friends, two other couples who had moved out of their modest neighborhood in a desert city for the comforts of the suburbs, until the day of Donald Trump’s election.

But, when Ellie discovers a repellent offering floating in the small Jacuzzi in their backyard, David is blindsided.
