Synopsis

Comedy/drama. In Seattle, 2001, journalist Phil Campbell has just lost his job. He meets with his friend Grant Cogswell, an unemployed music critic who has decided to stand against long-term incumbent Richard McIver in the upcoming City Council elections. Campbell reluctantly becomes his friend’s campaign manager, only to witness Cogswell’s rhetoric and manner appealing to Seattle voters previously disillusioned with the system.
