An Indian filmmaker arrives in the USA to make a movie about his friend's neurological disabilities. The global pandemic maroons the filmmaker in the USA for five months. The filmmaker didn't have much of a choice, but to keep filming with an ensemble cast of an American lunatic, scientist turned belly dancer, cranky military veteran, neurotic clergyman, Mormon comedian, LGBTQ musicians, pro wrestlers, a porn star and full-time dreamers. The perfect recipe for a f**ked-up movie.

In 1839, the slave ship Amistad set sail from Cuba to America. During the long trip, Cinque leads the slaves in an unprecedented uprising. They are then held prisoner in Connecticut, and their release becomes the subject of heated debate. Freed slave Theodore Joadson wants Cinque and the others exonerated and recruits property lawyer Roger Baldwin to help his case. Eventually, John Quincy Adams also becomes an ally.
