The satire tells the story of Mark Davenport who figures he will cruise to victory in the special election taking place after an embattled student body president resigns in disgrace. His only opponent is nerdy Christy Martin, who wants to eliminate football. But when a mysterious super PAC gives her an unlimited budget, things start to get ugly. Mark must face total annihilation or accept the services of a slick professional campaign manager with questionable ethics and a million-dollar super PAC of his own.
