The week after the French elections, the President must appoint his prime minister. In exchange for a higher position, ambitious young parliamentary attaché Nino is charged with persuading his longestranged father, a reclusive senator, to accept the post. But Lionel Perrin isn’t the only candidate for the coveted position, and in the race for power absolutely nothing is off-limits… Nino embarks on a high stakes adventure risking everything, his love life and political ambitions alike.
