Description
Two men, no longer young, and friends from childhood, fly to NYC—each with a secret purpose unknown to the other.
They arrive just as COVID-19 explodes across the city's 5 boroughs.
One of the men (white) has come to Manhattan to confront a theater producer who has made a coercive offer to his wife.
The other man (black, former All-American football star) plans to confront and take revenge on his white girlfriend from college days—who left him for a white man.
As they pursue their goals they are caught up in the hunt for America's most famous criminal.
The black man, seeking revenge, makes a surprising turn.
The white man, who has taken his confrontation with the theater producer to criminal length, may never leave Manhattan to return to his family.
Manhattan Meltdown introduces a series of inter-connected characters who, ever as their lives are impacted by lethal disease, must continue to struggle with more conventional personal crises: uterine cancer, imperiled romantic relationships, and the deteriorations of advancing old age.
