If Donald Trump ever faced the likes of an Abraham Lincoln, wouldn't you want front-row seats? One fateful night in the Lincoln Bedroom, with the 2020 election in the balance, a sleepless Trump encounters a tall lawyer from Illinois. This enigmatic visitor charms and challenges Trump, and finally does what no living person seems capable of doing: wrestling the truth out of Trump. By morning nothing's the same. This moving, insightful and surprising political drama reflects on loss, legacy, hubris and honesty, and presents a cathartic clash you won't want to miss.
