When a college campus is thrown into upheaval after a series of racially motivated murders, the university's presidential elections echo the irrepressible emotions of the frenzied and irate students.
With racial tensions rising and ensuing chaos, the two opposing electors become the voice to inspire and energize not only the students, but all people around the country. Behind the visible and audacious mouthpieces are the quiet and subdued speechwriters, Mark and Jerome—best friends, now at odds as they represent opposite sides.
Skillful, methodical, and relentless—these influential and accidental protagonists must decide how much they are willing to risk, and if winning is worth losing everything. With the world watching, a murderer lurking, a city galvanized, and every step garnering irresistible momentum, their dramatic and unforgettable journey begins.
