Welcome to CO/OP, a publicly-traded national grocery chain unaffiliated with your local co-op, where the employees are overworked and underpaid, and their manager, Mac, runs the store as if it's boot camp and he's the drill sergeant. In the face of a global pandemic, the employees attempt to unionize their workplace, but will they succeed against the odds and Head Office's union-busting efforts? And will Mac ever adjust to civilian life and a grocery-store job? Or has his service in Afghanistan changed him beyond repair?

Audiences are advised that this production contains staged violence, discussions of veteran suicide, and strong language.
