Pinnacle life moments of New Yorkers are shown through the eyes of a bartender in a New York speakeasy.

A revolving door of regulars are seen through the eyes of their local bartender during a single shift. Bartender plays the role of confidant, therapist, and impartial life coach as the regulars come to terms with their respective obstacles: a failing marriage and infidelity, a budding relationship and jealousy, the meaning of life and death, like and love, friendship and trust. The stories are tied together by the Bartender and her interactions with everyone who enters the bar.—Shelby Hiltunen
