Trying to make ends meet after losing everything at the White House, Monica Lewinsky decides to throw caution to the wind and take up a life as a bartender. Her first stop, the Theatre of Dionysus, a small pub in Glasgow’s Southside. She befriends a drunk patron and tells them her tale. But what is Monica’s story?
