"When 'Black Rabbit' begins, Jake and Vince haven't seen each other in years. (There are a lot of time-jump flashbacks so we can see where and how things went wrong.) The bros used to be in a somewhat popular band together (watching Law do Kurt Cobain-esque grunge is a particular treat), but after that ended they poured their hearts and money into a restaurant/VIP lounge called Black Rabbit based in Brooklyn, right by the iconic bridge."
"But demons from his past have let Vince rack up several sorts of trouble, including substance abuse and debts - and years ago he fled New York City, leaving a daughter, his brother, the restaurant and those debts behind. Meanwhile, Jake has been working hard to turn Black Rabbit into the next 'it' restaurant while also turning a blind eye to activities among his shadier patrons in the upstairs lounge."
Jake and Vince are estranged brothers and former bandmates who reunite around their Brooklyn restaurant and VIP lounge, Black Rabbit. Vince returns after fleeing New York with substance abuse problems, debts, and an abandoned daughter. Jake has kept the restaurant afloat while tolerating illicit activity among certain patrons and juggling fraught personal relationships. Flashbacks reveal how the brothers’ past choices and traumas produced long-standing resentments. The narrative moves through betrayals, legal and financial peril, and attempts at repair. The conclusion restores some connection and business continuity but leaves significant emotional, legal, and financial consequences unresolved.
