An American history college professor inspires his students with an enormous sense of civic pride with the hopes that they will go into the world and make a positive difference in their communities. Little does he realize that these students, in addition to the various characters he meets along his own life’s path, will tear him away from the comfort of the classroom and thrust him into the world of politics. Rising to the occasion with the professionalism and commitment to service for which he is known, the professor tackles his assignment with his customary charm and unique style. However, just as he believes his term in office is ending, he gets sucked back into the political arena due to an obscure provision in the Constitution. Drawing on his roots as a teacher, he educates those around him what a government official can accomplish when he’s made no campaign promises and has no political donors to appease. Since there are no political favors owed, he establishes a team of advisers and assistants based solely on merit. The success of his team re-defines the process of representing a constituency. Meanwhile, his eclectic group of friends and former students, who range from an Ethiopian war hero to a spell-conjuring lady and from match-making friends to Russian immigrants, all continue to help him stay focused on the citizens he wants to serve.
