A cerebral ensemble comedy-drama about idealistic experts wrestling with consensus and compromise over an urgent but nascent crisis, set against the period charm of 1980s Florida.

At a beachside resort in Florida in 1980, twenty experts gather for a weekend conference on a global issue that is starting to gain traction: the effects of Co2 emissions on the climate. The group of scientists, activists, and policymakers have one simple mandate from Congress — write a statement about what to do. Easier said than done.
