It's a comedic(?) drama set primarily in New York City in 1933, with flashbacks to 1918-1919 Amsterdam. It follows three friends who met during World War I. Fourteen years later, they are caught up in a political conspiracy in the United States.

Burt Berendsen (Christian Bale) is a doctor married into a high-society medical family. During the war, he becomes friends with African American Harold Woodsman (John David Washington), who, after the war, becomes a lawyer. After both are seriously wounded in the war, they are cared for by Valerie Voze (Margot Robbie), a nurse from another high-society New York family.

The former commander of their regiment, Bill Meekins (Ed Begley, Jr.), dies under suspicious circumstances. The victim's daughter, Elizabeth Meekins (Taylor Swift), asks them to investigate. They determine her father died from poison, but suddenly Elizabeth herself dies. Burt and Harold are accused of her murder but avoid arrest.

The plot then unfolds with a mysterious cabal of businessmen trying to take over the American government. They eventually enlist the aid of retired General Gil Dillenbeck (Robert De Niro) in their efforts to unmask the conspiracy. Finally, a dramatic ending exposes the plotters, and all live happily ever after.

This movie is bad. The filming is good, and the players say their lines well. However, the writing is awful, and I didn't hear one laugh in the small audience in which I saw the film. There are apparent efforts at humor involving a glass eye and the recreational pastime of birding. The film's last ten minutes are an apparent effort to address the current political climate in the United States, but it is poorly done.
