Widowed U.S. president Andrew Shepherd, one of the world's most powerful men, can have anything he wants -- and what he covets most is Sydney Ellen Wade, a Washington lobbyist. But Shepherd's attempts at courting her spark wild rumors and decimate his approval ratings.
Washington politics turns into a minefield when a lonely president falls for a lobbyist with conflicting interests. This sharp romantic comedy trades heavy policy debates for the messy, human complications of dating in the public eye.
