The story

The film is shot through the perspective of Terry Manchester, a British documentary filmmaker who is following the Roberts campaign.

Paiste is convinced that Roberts is a master manipulator linked to the National Security Council, the CIA and the military–industrial complex.

As the campaign continues, Paiste remains in the lead until a scandal arises involving him and a young woman who was seen emerging from a car with him.
