Brian Haberman is a 61-year-old PTA dad and failed architect in Belleville, New Jersey. Since his college years during the Sixties, Brian has regretted his lack of involvement in liberal politics. Then he meets Mario, who was politically active and slightly famous many years ago. Together, they plan and carry out a political caper against the backdrop of Barack Obama’s election in 2008 and his inauguration. And both experience surprising romances along the way.
