An everyday Illinois prosecutor is suddenly appointed to the U.S. Senate, only to uncover a political machine determined to use him to pass a dangerous constitutional bill — forcing him to choose between survival in Washington and the truth.

SYNOPSIS:

When a massive flood throws small-town prosecutor and volunteer firefighter Jefferson Jackson Smith into the spotlight, he’s celebrated as a hero. Twenty-four hours later, he’s something else entirely: the newly appointed United States Senator from Illinois.

Dropped into Washington with no prep and no agenda, Jeff is immediately swallowed by the machine. Staff he didn’t pick, an apartment he didn’t choose, a bill he’s expected to support. The smiling power brokers around him insist it’s all standard procedure, but Jeff can feel the trap tightening. HR 66 isn’t harmless legislation. It’s a constitutional time bomb, and he’s the vote that makes it possible.

As the pressure campaign escalates, Jeff must decide whether to play along or become the one thing Washington never expects: honest. What begins as a feel-good appointment becomes a high-stakes battle for truth, integrity, and the soul of American democracy.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington reimagines the classic story for a modern political landscape, where doing the right thing is no longer naïve — it’s revolutionary.
