William Sterling Jr., son of a popular former governor of California, is working as a teacher in the prison system when he is tapped by Gov. Marino, the present governor of that state, to finish the term of the recently deceased senior U.S. Senator. Trouble ensues immediately when it is discovered he is an Independent and not a Democrat, as was presumed by Gov. Marino. Mister Sterling recounts the daily trials and tribulations of a political novice trying to survive in the turbulent, ultra-insider dominated environment of Capitol Hill. He must rely on his instincts, integrity and the knowledge of his experienced staff to get him through. He must also learn when to apply certain "tricks of the trade" and when to compromise if he is going to survive.

Do you know what you're doing here? Do you? Or is this just some crazy roller coaster ride to nowhere that's gonna make us all look like idiots?
With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
