About
During the final weeks of a presidential race, the President is accused of sexual misconduct. To distract the public until the election, the President's adviser hires a Hollywood producer to help him stage a fake war.
A frantic, silver-tongued fixer orchestrates a cinematic illusion to bury a presidential scandal under a manufactured military conflict. This razor-sharp satire proves that a well-timed lie can reshape reality faster than the truth ever could.
