The failed politics in the U.S. of the last 100+ years seems an impossible endeavor. Enter a troubled but charismatic political consultant and Vietnam veteran Eric Meyers. He is unexpectedly tapped by California's Governor to run for an open U.S. Senate seat, with a desparate party's long-term plan to run for President in 2028. His best friend and former wartime squad leader, John Dean Morris, steps in as his campaign manager. Love of family and their country drives these two big dreamers to take a shot at the impossible through a palpable humanness and setting politics aside in favor of authenticity.
Eric and John launch a platform centered on a "class war". Instead of competing for partisan voters, their strategy focuses on mobilizing America's 89 million politically alienated non-voters-those who are "just living".
