Politics. The aura of John F. Kennedy. And the cost of finally growing up.
Austin Grant has spent his life chasing the next thrill-booze, women, and just enough lunacy to keep boredom at bay. A trial lawyer with charm to spare and a lack of discipline to match, he's never had much use for purpose-until a grudge against a powerful state senator pushes him into a race he has no business running.
What begins as revenge quickly spirals into a chaotic, no-holds-barred campaign filled with missteps, imbecility, and moments of surprising brilliance. As Austin stumbles toward something resembling conviction, he's forced to confront the wreckage of his choices-and the people he's hurt along the way.
Set against the sharp-edged backdrop of Texas politics, this is a story of mindless ego, casual recklessness, and perhaps second chances-where winning the race may mean losing everything that matters.
