Synopsis

"This is not a true story ... except for all the facts."

This is the opening lines of the movie, voiced by an omniscient narrator, played out by a Secret Service agent who appears through the movie. In this setup, the movie starts off.

Next a series of news snippets are inter played as the media is shown portraying the 2019 protests by BLM and Antifa in a manner that satirizes the situation, juxtaposing actual scenes of arson against the news anchor's statements of peaceful protests. Two protesters are then shown discussing the suppression of information for "the good of the people."

This morphs into the first scene of Hunter Biden, and one of his many parties that throw around cash, sex, and drugs. At the end of this first scene, with the revelers mostly asleep and strung out, there is a humorous presentation of a small dog, using dialog bubbles to tell Biden he's being used by freeloaders who don't really care about him. Agreeing with the dog, Biden orders everyone out of his apartment.

We then see Hunter meet up with another recurring character in the movie, named Grace Anderson, who spends much of the movie as a combination of Hunter's girlfriend, savant, and moral conscience. Her first interactions show Hunter entering a drug purchase, followed by the first of many intimate conversations about their lives and troubles.

Next enters Joe Biden into the movie, meeting with his son Hunter in the back of a Vice-Presidential motorcade, discussing the laptop that Hunter Biden abandoned at a computer repair store. They discuss how the laptop became the property of the store owner. They discuss how the FBI now has the laptop and how Joe Biden needs to know what's on the laptop so he can work to create cover stories in the media.

This limo scene is interrupted by scenes of Grace meeting with one of Hunter's personal assistants. This assistant then works with Grace to try to find web articles to discuss what Hunter had previously told her took place. Being unable to find any information that matched what Hunter had told her took place, Grace is told she must find other websites to find the background information she seeks. Grace then consults those other websites and finds her corroborating information.

The Secret Service agent then provides a brief summary of the convictions these Biden associates received, while describing some of their most significant criminal actions, as well as the financial details of the Hunter Biden business deals. This is when the movie first portrays Joe Biden telling an audience how he forced the resignation of a Ukrainian prosecutor, who was investigating Hunter, in return for a $1 billion loan guarantee by the Obama administration.

The story then returns to the limo, where Hunter and Joe Biden end their conversation with the mention of removal of travel bans against Ukrainian and Russian oligarchs in return for Hunter no longer being prosecuted, along with revealing a smear campaign against the computer store owner by portraying him as a Russian agent.

Following this, is another extended scene between Hunter Biden and Grace Anderson, where the two discuss the Peoples Republic of China. In this exchange, details of Hunter's business deals with Chinese business leaders are played out in character. It is during this scene where the apartment manager evicts Biden due to the salacious nature of his many parties. This extended scene concludes with Anderson speaking about Chinese human rights violations, as well as confronting Hunter on the true roots of his actions and self-destructive behavior.

Hunter Biden's personal assistant then gives to Grace a recording of her many conversations with Hunter Biden, a recording she tries to give to a freelance journalist named Bob, who is working at the time for the Washington Post. This journalist is shown as refusing to accept the story and urging Grace to forget all about it. Grace then posts the information she has online, and is shown immediately suffering social media cancellation and attacks.

The final scenes play out showing Rudy Giuliani accepting Grace's invitation to meet, releasing the recordings. The movie concludes by showing the aftermath of the public release of these conversations, prior to the 2020 election, that force the FBI to accelerate their criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, as well as force mainstream media to retract their previous denials of the laptop information. This culminates in a revisionist outcome of the 2020 election in which Donald Trump is re-elected by a wide margin, presumably due to the controversy created after the media reports the details of the Biden business deals and Hunter Biden's personal lifestyle, as well as other media reports of Hunter Biden being arrested by the FBI for various charges.

These revisionist narratives are then stopped, showing a concluding scene of Grace refusing to release the recordings, and lamenting what could have been if she had done so. She reconciles with her estranged father in an embrace and final statement that perhaps, "in the end, the truth itself has become the fairy tale."

The movie fades out with several real world media clips as well as actual video of Joe and Hunter Biden and their activities. These clips show 2020 efforts by mainstream media to castigate the New York Posts' laptop articles as being Russian disinformation, followed by reports they made in 2021 and 2022 that the laptop information is genuine.
