Banna is a perfection-seeking, suburban mom who finds meaning in leading a group of like-minded moms fighting the school district’s indoctrination of children. But behind the impressive facade, her marriage is in trouble, her relationship with her teenager is strained, and she is being tormented by an ever-present crow defiling her backyard. As their group gains traction and some sinister allies, she is faced with a choice: to open up and evolve or to double down and risk isolation. Adirondack Chair Circle examines the absurdity and hypocrisy in group dynamics, the inherent human need to belong, and asks, could Pickleball possibly save the country?
