It's 2004, an election year in an unnamed Southern state. The Democratic U.S. Senate incumbent for over 40 years, Barker Hudson III - 80 plus years & counting - is running for re-election. His challenger is an African American woman - a young 30-something Republican. Barker has had the Southern black vote sewn up in his state for years. And he's sure this election will be another cakewake. But Barker finds that there's a lot more to this particular challenger than meets the eye. A hell of a lot more!
