Joe Tynan is a respected United States Senator who has been asked to lead the opposition to a Supreme Court appointment. In order to do this, Joe has to ignore some of his principles, lose an old friend, and possibly put more strain on his family who he already sees too infrequently. But Joe accepts the task because it will help his career. An additional complication arises when the attorney helping him on the case is an attractive woman with whom he begins an affair.
