We might be on the brink of revolution in Nebraska. Penny, a compulsive and compulsively-watchable candidate for state office enlists the help of Francine, a silver-tongued operative.

Hilarious and tragic, especially with what's happening with the government right now. Nachtrieb's dialogue is snappy and quick and funny as hell! ”
