political satire

synopsis: Dicky Pilager (Cooper) is a charismatic but dim witted republican candidate. In the midst of an election campaign, he has the misfortune to discover a body whilst out in his boat. Suspicious of a set-up, his campaign manager Chuck Raven (Dreyfuss) hires a private investigator to look into the matter. The investigation uncovers some unsavoury truths about Pilager and his family, and leads deeper and deeper into a web of corruption.

"Smart, intriguing, funny and sad, with some primo wisecracking dialogue." - Angie Errigo, Empire
