Summary

A suicidal, disillusioned U.S. Senator from California takes out a massive life insurance policy and hires a hitman to kill him, freeing him to speak blunt, unfiltered truths on the campaign trail. As he falls in with a young woman from South Central L.A. and adopts a hip-hop persona, his newfound candor about race, money, and politics turns him into an unlikely sensation, and he begins to regret the contract on his life.
