EPISODES
EP. 1: ONE MILLION DOLLARS
In the opener, we meet first term Congressman Seth McGuire, who’s embroiled in a terrible PR disaster. He interacts mostly with his chief of staff, Olivia Huff and his assistant, Gita Subramanium, both of whom are way more politically savvy, and try to counsel him into “playing the game.” Beat down and disheartened, Seth is at the end of his rope. But the lightning of inspiration strikes when he’s least expecting it – while listening to right-wing talk radio.

EP. 2: YOU GUYS ARE BAD AT THIS
We meet the yin to Seth’s yang, his ex, and the chairwoman of the DNC – Anna Rossi. She’s a commanding presence, a no-nonsense politician, and in this case, Seth’s only hope of getting anywhere with his hare-brained scheme. But just as he feels he’s winning her over, all hopes are dashed by a tip from a wily Washington Post reporter – Dan Carrington.

EP. 3: ICE

EP. 4: THE BETTER JOURNALIST
We meet the tour-de-force that is Porter Purvis, an old-school journalist who holds his work to a higher standard, spars with the duplicitous Dan Carrington, and just might be the one person who could get Seth elected to office.

EP. 5: DON'T BE SCARED
At his lowest point, Seth gets an unexpected visitor – former President Sidney Rutherford – the one person whose opinion he holds over everyone else’s in the world. Between the counsel of his mentor, and Congresswoman Helen Chan, his only true ally who knows how to navigate D.C., Seth gets a much needed boost.
