Samenvatting
Minder dan twee weken voor de verkiezingen wordt de president van de Verenigde Staten beschuldigd van seksueel wangedrag. Het Witte Huis roept de hulp in van adviseur Brean, een briljant intrigant en image-builder. Brean bedenkt het ultieme scenario: hij creëert een nog groter en beter verhaal en ensceneert een dreigende oorlog tussen Amerika en Albanië, de fictieve vijand van dienst. Om dit onwaarschijnlijke verhaal geloofwaardiger maken, gaat Brean te rade bij de flamboyante Hollywood-producer Motts en zijn entourage. Samen orkestreren ze nooit eerder gezien globaal conflict.Credits
