Overview

Respected liberal Senator Joe Tynan is asked to to lead the opposition to a Supreme Court appointment. It means losing an old friend and fudging principles to make the necessary deals, as well as further straining his already part-time family life. But it could be a big boost to his career, so he takes it on. Helping him prepare the case is pretty southern researcher Karen Traynor, and their developing relationship further complicates and compromises his life.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sobering character study of a principled man watching himself compromise, caught between the seductive pull of power and the quiet devastation of broken commitments. It's a film about the small moral deaths that ambition demands.
