An escalating feud between two neighbors, Kevin (a liberal), and Rick (a conservative) before, during, and after the 2016 election leads to a fatal double-shooting. The feud is fed in part by politics, but the feud is exacerbated by misunderstandings about class, economics, politics, and race.

Name: There are four main characters: Kevin (a white American male, and a liberal), Marina (Kevin's wife, a Hispanic mother), Rick (a White American male conservative) and Kate (a conservative and member of her local teacher's union). Kevin and Rick, in the words of the Kirkus Review I just got back, are both deserving of empathy and scorn and cannot see how much they share, aside from political beliefs. Another fundamental part of the story is Marina being Hispanic. In the book she grew up in the Southwest, where being Hispanic wasn't as uncommon. In the midwestern suburbs her identity becomes an issue for the first time, and feeds the growing feud between her husband and her neighbor.
