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.
A local speaking engagement brings 'JB' onto the radar of powerful political operatives and his local U.S. Congressman. They see in JB a fresh face needed in the Republican Party and attempt to recruit him. They all bear witness to JB's astute business acumen, problem solving prowess, practical common sense, unmistakable wit and sense of humor. They also learn of his disdain for politics in every form.
Undeterred, his newest admirers make a number of attempts to change his thinking and recruit him. He repeatedly declines and remains completely apathetic to their ongoing efforts until a couple of happenstance events change his thinking. Events that 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.
