On election day, a controversial local candidate thinks he’s cruising to an easy win. But when a mysterious figure from his past takes him hostage during a live interview, an ambitious but troubled detective must risk her own career to save him before time runs out.

SYNOPSIS:

Underdog congressional candidate KYLE BLACK is sailing towards victory thanks to an aggressive grassroots campaign run by JULIA, his smart and savvy wife. But on election day, excitement turns to terror during a live interview with young and ambitious online political influencer SARAH STROLLEY when Kyle is taken hostage by RICARDO MARTINEZ, a mysterious figure from Kyle’s past.

As detective VI CHENG races to find Kyle, her own career hanging in the balance, Ricardo begins broadcasting old videos that chip away at Kyle’s golden boy image. The clips reveal not only Kyle’s hidden sexuality but a shocking act of brutality that changed the course of his and Ricardo’s lives forever.

In this political thriller, everyone has secrets and their own hidden agenda. The adrenaline-fueled story unfolds against a backdrop of America’s myth of individualism, the unrelenting invasiveness of social media, and our viciously divided, “post-truth” world.
