"Raw, hilarious, and right on the money."
- The Evening Standard
It's been a rough and tumble presidential primary season (sound familiar?), but Jerry, a ruthless campaign manager whose unorthodox methods seemingly guarantee results, is sitting on top of the world: his candidate leads the polls by a double digit margin. And then it happens - a wisp of scandal is dangled in front of him by his equally ferocious rival. Details are vague, but one person and three little letters are made perfectly clear: the candidate’s wife and S-E-X. Jerry has two hours to verify the accusation’s validity and squelch it or prepare to present his candidate with an agonizing ultimatum. In this riveting comedy-meets-political-thriller hybrid, masters of spin play a high stakes chess game where the first prize is our government.

“What happens in a single night in a single campaign headquarters is at once chilling, absurd, foolish and, yes, funny. It also is a wrenchingly disturbing portrait of American politics at its down-and-dirty worst.”
