George Clooney plays presidential candidate Governor Mike Morris whose ground-breaking ideas could change the political landscape. Idealistic campaign worker Stephen Meyers (Ryan Gosling) has sworn to give his all for Morris; however when a brutal Ohio primary threatens to test the Governor’s integrity, Stephen gets trapped in the down-and-dirty battle. He also finds himself caught up in a scandal involving a young intern (Evan Rachel Wood) - and realises his only path to survival is to play both sides. (Roadshow Entertainment)
