Synopsis

When John Thomas (Charles S Dutton), an insurance salesman in his 50’s, has a close call with his health, he re-examines his life. However, his strong interest in seeing Obama elected, as the next President becomes an obsession as he joins the Presidential campaign.

Unfortunately this is at the expense of John’s own health problem, which he hides from his family. Increasingly neglecting his family, especially his strong, yet supportive wife, Molly (Vanessa Bell Calloway), puts a strain on their marriage and increases the friction on the home front with his children.
