"From Emmy Award-winning writer/producer Lawrence O’Donnell (NBC’s “The West Wing”) comes this mid-season drama chronicling the daily struggles of well-intentioned young Senator William Sterling Jr. (Josh Brolin, “Hollow Man,” “The Mod Squad”) who brings a fresh perspective -- and his own agenda -- to Capitol Hill. Thrust into political office after the un-timely death of the senior Senator from California, Sterling is forced to navigate the murky world of Washington politics with only the help of his resourceful staff to guide him." - NBC.com
