The synopsis of the film reads: “We are in New York between the seventies and eighties and Trump is an ambitious entrepreneur. He began building his real estate empire in those years and helping him was the central figure of Roy Cohn, a New York lawyer known for having worked with Joseph McCarthy during the second "Red Scare", a period of anti-communism in the United States at the of the fifties. Cohn becomes his mentor and thanks to him the foundations are laid for the birth of an American dynasty of power, corruption, and deceit."
