All About The Plot Of ‘Beef’
In ‘Beef,’ Amy Lau (Ali Wong) and Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) are individuals getting nowhere close to the life they dreamed of. By some fate, they find themselves in contact when a minor moment of road rage sets them off on a game of cat and mouse. Instead of letting go, they hang on to the grudge.
As they engage in a game of upmanship, their most destructive impulses emerge, and they fall apart while hunting each other. The Netflix plot synopsis for the show reads, “A road rage incident between two strangers — a failing contractor and an unfulfilled entrepreneur — sparks a feud that brings out their darkest impulses.“
