About
Gary Hart, former Senator of Colorado, becomes the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1987. Hart's intelligence, charisma and idealism makes him popular with young voters, leaving him with a seemingly clear path to the White House. All that comes crashing down when allegations of an extramarital affair surface in the media, forcing the candidate to address a scandal that threatens to derail his campaign and personal life.
Instead of a typical political thriller, this intimate character study focuses on the messy collision of private scandal and public duty. It trades grand sweeping gestures for a quiet, painful examination of how a single mistake can dismantle a lifelong legacy.
