THE STORY A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of
Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed,
but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off,
leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
