“From con man to congressman.”

Comedy

A Florida con man uses the recent death of the long time Congressman from his district, who he just happens to share a last name with, to get elected to his version of paradise, the U.S. Congress, where the money flows from lobbyists.

VIBE

A slick con artist navigates the cutthroat world of Washington D.C. Expect sharp dialogue, escalating schemes, and a surprisingly earnest, if crooked, heart at its center. It's a fast-paced, satirical romp through political ambition and the art of the hustle.
