Overview

In spring of 2012 an unlikely transformational figure, by way of chance occurrences, inadvertently breaches the perimeter of the U.S. political world. Jonathon Braxton has just crossed his 40th birthday and has captured the American dream. He is surrounded by a loving family, adoring employees and local business and civic leaders grateful for his generosity and creative approaches to solving local community problems. His accomplishments accompanied by his astute business acumen, common sense, sense of humor, philanthropy, total transparency and unmistakable wit, bring him onto the radar of influential political operatives and his local Congressman. They see in JB a fresh face needed in the Republican Party and attempt to recruit him. He is completely apathetic to their efforts until a couple of happenstance events change his thinking and serve to change the U.S. political landscape in ways no one could have predicted. Unencumbered by political ambition, devoid of greed, without lust for power, and fueled solely by a desire to advocate for a cure to a disease afflicting his son, Jonathon Braxton reluctantly enters the arena. It's not a fair fight as the enigmatic JB, over the course of four years, reshapes Cable TV news, Congress and Washington DC political norms, while escorting both the Republican and Democrat parties to brink of extinction.
