American-born media mogul Max Finch has British politics in the palm of his hand, with the power to heavily influence the upcoming general election. Asked to meet both the sitting prime minister, Jahan Zakari, and rising star of the opposition, the idealistic Angela Howard, he's torn as to who to throw his support behind.
The ex-husband of the aristocratic Kathryn, Max is also keen to meet with their adult son, Caden, the editor of Max's broadsheet newspaper The National Reporter. Max knows that Caden has been struggling with his responsibilities and falling out of line, but he doesn't know the extent of his child's inner turmoil.
