A politically savvy 15-year-old learns the true nature of politics after accepting the position of youth campaign spokesman for a determined congressman in the feature directorial debut of 20-year-old actor-turned-director Luke Eberl. When Congressman Lawrence Connor (Steven Weber) speaks before an assembly of high-school students during his run for the Senate, the enthusiastic and well-informed response that he gets from 15-year-old student Owen (Alex D. Linz) results in an invitation to join the campaign as Connor's youth spokesman. Subsequently exploited in a tireless campaign that includes television commercials, posters, radio advertisements, and speaking engagements, Owen is prompted by his growing distaste for the cut-throat world of politics to reconsider his career or risk losing his innocence. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    One of the best movies I have seen in the past year and by far one of the top gay themed films I have seen in awhile. Weber is stunning as the sinister Senator and newcomer hearthrob Holloway will blow you away as a troubled teen-soul searching for a way out of this darkness. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the ending was inconclusive and leaves the audiences dangling. I dont know what it was about this simple story and low budget drama, but I was mesmerized all the way through ! You keep wondering: ok, what is going on here ? The tension and mystery is palpable. A must see !

    A true glimpse at this country's political system and the corrupt people who run it. Also shows the techniques use to brainwash people into believing in someone who's no good and who interest lie with the corrupt and powerful.

    This movie is not for those who have an optimistic view of how power works.The movie is good but I think it could have been even better than .The protagonist makes one very fatal flaw which is incongruous with his intelligence.Without giving anything away,I will reveal that he stupidly allows key evidence to be destroyed thus negating the lesson that the synister antagonist tried to teach him.Additionally, at the end we are left not quite sure a what road our young protagonist will take.Nevertheless,it presents a dose of the seamy side of power and politics.
